You could create your control like this:

var pos = new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition({
    formatOutput: function(lonLat) {
        var digits = parseInt(this.numDigits);
        var newHtml =
            this.prefix +
            lonLat.lat.toFixed(digits) +
            this.separator +
            lonLat.lon.toFixed(digits) +
            this.suffix;
        return newHtml;
     },
});

You can create any custom output by overriding the formatOutput function.

Regards,
Andreas.
