RE: adding a newline in a block
You can do this by using " " in the source XML, like this: Some text with newlines here. This will put line-breaks into the fo file. Then, in the say Some text with newlines here. FOP will NOT collapse the whitespace, and leave the linebreaks to appear in the PDF. It works!

RE: adding a newline in a block
Maybe you can use in some way, but I'm not sure since I haven't done it myself. Idealy, you should modify your XML do be something like this: Chapter text goes here and is quite ... a ... few ... lines ... long ... Chapter two goes ... here ... and then your FO can look like this: Chapter text goes here and is quite ... a ... few ... lines ... long ... Chapter two goes ... here ...
