I have a site with multiple sections that need different headers. My base templates are made up of primarily chucks. so, I have a chunk called [[$Hdr-base]] that is the default. I'd like to apply the template and have the header chunk change based on the parent or ultimate parent if it goes down a few levels.
Most of the information I found on this is for Evo.

[[!UltimateParent? &id=`[[*id]]`:is=`1`:then=`[[$Hdr-base]]`:else=`[[$Hdr-new]]`]]
You'll want to make sure that is called cached (the ultimate parent doesn't change from one request to the next), and this is a great example where the mosquito trick is useful for performance. Finally, the order of the parameters and output filters needs to be switched around.
[[$[[UltimateParent:is=`1`:then=`Hdr-base`:else=`Hdr-new`? &id=`[[*id]]`]]]]
For more information about how that works, have a look at this blog post:

I like this idea Bruno. Could this be done in a snippet so I could put it in the template rather than a TV?

sure, could also be done with a snippet.
But you'l need something to get the chunkname from, if you haven't a TV
You could use the pagetitle or alias of the ultimate-parent as part of the chunkname
Or just use the id of the ultimateparent as part of the chunkname.
