Yes, you can use a different default router for multicast
purpose. In that case you need to add the following to your
configuration:

protocols {
    static {
	mrib-route4 0.0.0.0/0 {
	    next-hop: 1.2.3.4
	}
    }
}

where you should replace 1.2.3.4 with your multicast-capable
neighboring router of course. Note that the above config is used for
Reverse-Path Forwarding check purpose, so it still won't fix the
neighborhood issue.
