That's not the job of a FOP class.

What you need to do is write an XSL stylesheet that assumes an OPF as the 
source tree, and follows the manifest links with the document() XSLT 
function.  That stylesheet will also obviously need to take into account 
the document type of the individual document files; if they're Basic OEBPS, 
you may be able to borrow an XHTML stylesheet from someone; if they're 
advanced or extended, you'll probably need to develop your own stylesheet 
(unless you're using a well-supported document type like TEI or DocBook).

If you do this, please share; it would be most interesting to other OEBers.

P.S. This is really a better question for fop-users, xsl-list, or The eBook 
Community.

FOP only takes XSL:FO as input. No other format is supported.
It is also possible to supply an xml and xsl that creates XSL:FO so that
FOP can then transform it.

If you want to convert you particular format into pdf with fop then you
need to somehow convert your format into XSL:FO (or XML which an XSL
stylesheet can be applied to).
