If you are using XSLT to generate the FO, generate
the space-after for the first block only if there
will be a following block, for example if you are
transforming <p> into <fo:block>:
   <fo:block>
     <xsl:if test="following-sibling::p"
       <xsl:attribute name="space-after">10pt</xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </fo:block>

A pure FO realisation could take advantage of space
conditionality, unfortunately, FOP currently does
not implement this feature completely.
