Wouldn't the best way to replace FOP be to try to use/co-opt/extend 
one of the docbook2odf stylesheets, and then use OpenOffice's PDF 
export?

One open source docbook2odf project: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook2odf/

uconv (universal OpenOffice format--including PDF--batch converter): 
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/

This would also enable the use of OOo Writer for drafts and review 
edits, among other use cases.

Otherwise, I haven't found anything that could replace FOP atm.
