Recently I've made some progress. I am able to collect page references,
deduplicate them and create ranges per rules defined in the XSL-FO spec.
https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#d0e13293
It is available in a dedicated branch in my fork here
https://github.com/jan-tosovsky-cz/xmlgraphics-fop/tree/FOP-2851_index
However, I struggle with the LayoutManager part.
At the moment I convert the collected data into a simple string laid out
using the LeafNodeLayoutManager-based class:

ore/src/main/java/org/apache/fop/layoutmgr/inline/IndexPageCitationListLayou
tManager.java
I expect I should rather create some inline parent and put the child content
there. I wasn't able to find some example in the current code for this.
By the child content I mean page references, which can have different
styles, optionally treated as internal links, decorated by the
prefix/suffix, separated by the specified page and range separators (joined
using proper keep-with values).
Thanks,
Jan
