Yes. Either copy the programlisting into your driver file
(the one you call from the command line)
or amend the actual one (not advisable if you update)
or
if its a single transform, amend the fo output;

such that the fo:block has an attribute
keep-together='always'
or keep-together.within-page=''

values can be 'always' or an integer (higher the stronger)
