I tried to do something like this in rst2pdf and:

1) It was very hard
2) It never looked right

I did it by chopping the page's frames and saving space for the "floating" 
flowable. That means the frame needs to break itself up and all kinds of weird 
things happen.

Of course if you figure out how to do it, I'd love to know :-)
