Only through the use of markers.

Precisely, so in XSLT you calculate the running total for every line item 
and put that into a marker ... markers in the flow don't get rendered on 
the canvas, but the flow will contain the running total for every line item.

At the bottom of each page you pull the last total marker for the page onto 
the canvas, and you end up with the running total for the page in the 
static content.

A Google search on "running total XSL-FO" will turn up similar answers like:

I hope this helps.
