There are two ways, illustrated assuming your current node is a 
section element that is creating the page-sequence:

(1) - just format the page number in the static content block itself, 
though you have to repeat this logic in any page number citations:

<fo:block text-align='center'>Section 
<xsl:number/>-<fo:page-number/></fo:block>

(2) - define a folio prefix, which is better because this is 
reflected in any page number citations into the page-sequence:

<fo:folio-prefix>Section <xsl:number/>-</fo:folio-prefix>

You need to take care of that yourself by formatting the appearance 
of text before and after the page number, either in each case or 
using the built-in folio-prefix facility.

Note that the page number itself can be formatted using format 
tokens, but you cannot do arithmetic with or manipulate the page 
number in any way.

I hope this helps.
