I with Ken on this one, not sure what "dynamic change" you are looking for.
For instance, if you wish the centered block to be 2in wide, then this is
perfect:
<fo:table width="100%">
<fo:table-column
column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="2in"/>
<fo:table-column
column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell><fo:block><fo:leader/></fo:block></fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>I am a
happy little line of left-aligned text within a 2in centered table
column.</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell><fo:block><fo:leader/></fo:block></fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>

What kind of "dynamic changes" do you need to support that cannot be
accommodated with a table cell?
