Use the auto-draft post status, a useful feature from 3.0.

Just hook to wp_insert_post and if $post->post_status is 'auto-draft', 
assign the default terms via wp_set_object_terms. This way you will add 
them only once (when a new post is created, literally), so you can 
modify them later, and have as many default terms for posts as you want.

If you don't want to hardcode the default terms (which would be a wise 
option), just use options and a settings page.
