I solved the problem with the following in my custom layer:
<xsl:attribute-set name="standard.para.spacing">
<xsl:attribute name="text-indent">24pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:template match="d:para">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="standard.para.spacing">
<xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
Merely changing the attribute set normal.para.spacing is not suitable,
since other block level templates are affected by normal.para.spacing
as well.

Hi,
Actually, simply removing the space-before attributes in a
customization layer will not have any effect, because attribute-sets
at different import levels are merged, so you would still inherit
the original attribute values. Instead, you need to set them to zero
in your customization layer, so the whole attribute-set would be:
<xsl:attribute-set name="normal.para.spacing">
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">0pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">0pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="text-indent">24pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
If you aren't clear what a customization layer is, see this reference:

Subject: Re: [docbook] Indenting paragraph start
Have you tried this?
http://sourceware.org/ml/docbook-apps/2004-q1/msg00211.html
By re-defining normal.para.spacing attribute set in the
customization layer.
It is, by default,
<xsl:attribute-set name="normal.para.spacing">
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">1em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0.8em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">1.2em</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
You want to remove space-before and add
<xsl:attribute name="text-indent">24pt</xsl:attribute>
text-indent is the XSL FO way to first-line-indent.
