Since it has to be at the bottom, have you considered putting a footnote at 
the end of the flow and using an empty footnote citation?  The formatter 
will then put your disclaimer in the footnote reference area at the bottom 
of the last page.

Sorry, I don't know if footnotes are supported in FOP.

I hope this helps.
