I think that the only way to do this is to save a new template. Like for me, I have to write all of my papers for school in times new roman font, so I loaded up the research paper template, changed all of the fonts to times new roman, and chose File>Save as Template. Now when I start Pages, it's under the My Templates section on the template chooser.

I still think iWork should have a default font option.
