I can't rember if you are using xslt 1 or 2, in 1, perhaos teh easiest 
way would be

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$var &gt;= 0"><xsl:value-of  ....floor($var)
<xsl:otherwise>.................................ceil(....

or (as there may be edge cases with formatting negative numbers anyway 
perhaps


<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$var &gt;= 0"><xsl:value-of  ....floor($var)
<xsl:otherwise>-<xsl:value-of  ....floor(-$var)
