This is an FAQ and is also covered in the spec itself.

The trick is to use the text-align-last="justify" value on the block, 
with an auto-length leader between them. You can also use a table, which 
is more appropriate if you have multi-line items that need to be pushed 
to the edges of the header or footer.

<fo:block
    text-align-last="justify">
  <fo:retrieve-marker class="title"/>
  <fo:leader leader-pattern="space"/>
  <fo:page-number/>
</fo:block>

Cheers,
