I don't know much about XSL/FO, but I think you want to use a template that 
matches the "<sup>" element:

<xsl:template match="sup">
  <fo:inline baseline-shift="super" font-size=".75em">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:fo>
</xsl:template>

Whenever you apply-templates on a <sup> element, that template will output a 
<fo:inline> element (replace this with whatever fo tag you want, I'm probably 
wrong), and then it apply-templates to the *children* of the <sup> element.  
If <sup> contains the text "value", the effect will be that it outputs 
<fo:inline ...>value</fo:inline>

Hope that helps!
