Not that I can think of.

Yes, I understand.

It is only simple to do if you are retrieving content into the table 
header or the table footer.  It is impossible to do (without an 
extension that a vendor might offer but I don't know of) if you are 
trying to retrieve content into flowed content.

Your cell content is flowed content.

As for the retrieve-position= attribute and others, check out my 
XSL-FO book section on retrieving dynamic content in static 
content.  There is a helpful diagram on page 260 that is available 
for free download on a "try and buy" basis at 
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#pfux ... if you decide not 
to pay for the book, please delete the copy that you download for free.

But, again, a borderless table footer would do it if you aren't 
already using table footers.

I hope this helps understand the situation.
