assuming you mean empty node set (Xpath doesn't define null)
then no.

<xsl:param name="node-set" select=".." />

it wil default to the parent of the current node  at the point the
template is called.

<xsl:param name="node-set" select="" />

that's an error I think an empty string isn't a valid XPath.

what you want is an Xpath that selects an empty node set.
I always use

<xsl:param name="node-set" select="/.." />

Although I've seen Mike Kay use
<xsl:param name="node-set" select="@comment()" />
on this list
