IIRC, FOP does take care of column-balancing, but only does so for all but the last page. More or less similar to a line-layout, where you generally apply alignment justification on all lines but the last. One possible way out could be to put in a trailing, empty fo:block with span="all" set. That should trigger column-balancing, even if the content takes up less than one page. In combination with display-align="center", that might come very close to what you're looking for. If I understand the requirement correctly, that is... Hope this helps.
