Trevor,
what you're looking for is fo:float, but as you can see here:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-float
this object is not implemented, yet.
As an alternative, you can investigate using fo:block-containers if you
are happy enough to have the version numbers placed on the right side of
the normal text flow.
