What do you mean, default value? Do you mean the string you see if $something
cannot be converted to a number? Isn't 'NaN' already the default?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="text" indent="no"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number(12345.678, '#,###.00')"/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number('hi', '#,###.00')"/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number(2 div 0, '#,###.00')"/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number(/.., '#,###.00')"/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number(/, '#,###.00')"/>  
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

yields

12,345.68
NaN
Infinity
NaN
NaN <-- varies depending on string-value of source tree's root node


What is it you want?
