The FOP Resources page [1] has many tools which may fit your need. 
Among the tools I've spotted there, are the MPL Formatting Objects 
Authoring tool[2] and shareware FOEditor[3]. In addition, there's the 
html2fo[4], wh2f0[5] and RTF2FO[6].

Please take a look at it, and let us know which tool helped you most. 
Thanks! Finally, if you find any other tools in your search (have you 
tried http://www.google.com/ ;-)?), would you please report back and 
let us know? We're always looking for ways to improve our Resources 
page!

To add another commercial one (and very expensive, but it has a trial
download with which you can save a few times, so could be enough to get you
started)

The only free tool I know of is FOA (Formatting Objects Author). There are a 
couple of commercial products, but none of them are very good. I find them 
more of a hinderence than a help, but please judge them for yourself:

FOA

Commercial
