The simplest solution would be to use the dedication element and give it a 
title of Acknowledgements.  The dedication appears before the TOC in the FO 
output of the DocBook stylesheets.  It may be a bit of tag misuse, but before 
the recent addition of acknowledgements, I've always considered "dedication" to 
be another name for "other front matter".  8^)

The other solution would be to copy the template with match="book" in 
fo/division.xsl to a customization layer, and add a template to process the 
acknowledgement element.

  Subject: [docbook] Inserting a new page


  Hi readers,

  I'm working on writing a custom report as a book and want to insert a special 
acknowledgements page before the table of contents. But I did not find how can 
I do that.

  I saw the acknowledgements are not implemented in the current style sheets 
(the output I use is xsl-fo).

  Could you help me?

  Sincerely,

  Julien Peeters.
