Yes, this is possible, but only for <fo:block-containter> I think. I've used
this in a stylesheet for diplomas, where the tutor's signature should appear
at the same place in the flow, regardless of the number of matters (listed
vertically) where discussed in the course...

<fo:block-container absolute-position="fixed" top="220mm" bottom="0mm"
left="110mm" font-size="9pt">
  <fo:block margin-bottom="1.8em">
    <xsl:value-of select="$title"/>
  </fo:block>
  <fo:block>
    <fo:leader leader-pattern="dots" leader-length="55mm" />
  </fo:block>
  <fo:block>
    <xsl:value-of select="//management/name" />
    <xsl:value-of select="//management/organization" />
  </fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

I don't remember why this "bottom" attribute is there. Maybe it can be
removed.
