A footnote only takes up space if present. So just put a footnote in your last paragraph and it should appear at the bottom of the last page. No need to define a region-after. The only problem with footnotes is that they are a bit buggy in current version of FOP. Certain scenarios may produce strange effects, e.g. if last paragraph in document happens to be at bottom of page, then there will be room for footnote. What should happen is FOP should move last paragraph to next page along with footnote, but I dont think this works.
