What do you mean "arbitrary" value? Do you mean some value that you
chose, or it should chose some value on its own, either from a list or
at random?

If you simply want a default property, just set a property in your build.xml.

There's a hierarchy of where property values are set. If you include a
properties file, the values there override whatever values you set in
the build.xml itself, and values from the command line overrided
values set in both the build.xml and property files.

I do this all the time:

    <!-- Will be set if user didn't specify -Denv=xxx from the command line -->
    <property name="env"  value="some_value"/>
