There's no default value, most likely, and according to man page, the 
default_mode one is only used with KMS video driver, are you using one?

Looking at the older drm code that is still in tree 
(sys/dev/drm2/drm_fb_helper.c), all it does is reading per-output 
setting, and if none, using the default_mode one.  Most likely the newer 
in ports does the same; I didn't check and don't have access to anything 
using drm drivers at the moment.
