Do you have this table in page header only or in normal page body?

You can specify different headers/footers for odd and even pages in 
XSL-FO. There is also hook for this in DocBook stylesheets:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html

(see template named header.content)

If you need this in page body, you are facing problem that is beyond 
capabilities of XSL-FO. Forunately some XSL-FO processors support 
special sort of floats that can float to inner or outer edge of page. I 
suppose that you can achieve your two column table with careful usage of 
such floats. For example of inner/outer consult following document:
