Nothing's wrong with putting your nav at the bottom of your source. Actually I think its a rather good idea!
People using screen readers dont want to bombarded with the same set of links each time they visit a new page. Thats why the whole skip to content thing came about...so users with screen readers could skip to the content - which is the most important thing about a site, surely? Moving your nav to the bottom of your structure removes the need for a skip to content... I don't know - thats just what I've picked up over time.
