Well, not quite what I had in mind. There could be one appendix element
with title and mediaobject, and it has the role attribute to select the
custom page-master.
The custom page-master can define one layout for the first page and
different layouts for odd and even pages after the first. The existing
simple-page-master with master-name="back-first" is the appendix first page
master, and that will have the headers and footers, and that will work for
your purposes. You want to define two new simple-page-master elements with
names such as master-name="back-odd-body-only" and "back-even-body-only"
that remove the region-before and region-after elements and adjust the page
and body margins.
Then you add a page-sequence-master to assemble the existing and new
simple-page-masters into a new sequence:
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="back-body-only">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="blank"
blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="back-first"
page-position="first"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-reference="back-odd-body-only"
odd-or-even="odd"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
odd-or-even="even">
<xsl:attribute name="master-reference">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided !=
0">back-even-body-only</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>back-odd-body-only</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
Then when the role is set, you select "back-body-only" for that
page-sequence and you get this sequence of pages. For the first page, it
will use the existing back-first simple-page-master that has headers and
footers. The other pages will use your custom simple-page-masters.

Yes, this is possible. I think you would need to create a custom
page-master to give you better control of margins, headers and footers.

To put the new page-master in play, you would need to add a role
attribute
to the appendix element, and customize the template named
select.user.pagemaster ...

Let's see if I understand:
<!-- not necessarily syntactically correct -->
<appendix>
<title>Confidentiality Agreement</title>
<para/>
</appendix>
<appendix role="no-headers-and-footers">
<!-- No title or empty title, of course -->
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="confidentiality_agreement.pdf" scale="100%"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</appendix>
The first appendix (with nothing in it but the title) would appear in
the PDF as "Appendix A: Confidentiality Agreement". This text would
also appear in the table of contents.
The second appendix uses a custom stylesheet, thanks to the new role.
Assuming that the customisation was done correctly, it would have no
headers and footers, and would not appear in the table of contents.
