Your pseudo code would directly translate into this, which should work.

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="/root/abc/def/ghi='FRED'">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="/root/abc/def/ghival!=''">
            <xsl:value-of select="/root/abc/def/ghival"/>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
