Does fop do the whole job? It's possible to use xsltproc to prepare
the .fo file, which should then be easily processible by fop I guess.
xsltproc knows a --path switch. I usually use:

VPATH =+ $(srcdir)

rule:
    xsltproc --path "$(VPATH)" ...

to catch all files in $(builddir) and $(srcdir). A different way would
be to define the path to images via parameter and then set this parameter
on xsltproc/fop call. For the first mentioned:

xsltproc --stringparam image.path "$(srcdir)"

This is how docbook-xsl works (to include the pictures for warnings,
notes, ...). There is IMHO no need to copy the files around.
