Assuming you've got your resource bundle in place, something like this:
<c:set var="pattern">
<fmt:message key="datePattern"/>
</c:set>
<fmt:formatDate pattern="${pattern}"
value="${yourDateValue}"/>
Then, in your en_US resource file, you'd have:
datePattern=MM/dd
while in your en_GB resource file, you'd have:
datePattern=dd/MM
