I am not sure wheter this is the best solution to your problem but this
seems to work for me whenever i want to "dock" something on a page:

you can use
<fo:block-container position="absolute" bottom="0cm" left="0cm">
   <fo:block>This text box will appear at the bottom left of the page
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

This method doesnt like docking to the right but i get around that by
specifying left as [pagewidth - blockcontainerwidth]

Hope it works for you too.
