Did you try substring like below?
<xsl:variable name="phone" select="/PhoneNum/text()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('(',substring($phone,1,4),') 
',substring($phone,5,3),'-',substring($phone,8,4))"/>
If you have tried this and u find this an Ugly approach, then u might want 
to use the extension functions ( Java methods that return you the result in 
your required format).
