I have a requirement to show the total number of pages for each section at
the beginning of a report. There are 3 sections and I can put an id in
each section. I can also use page-number-citation to get the last page
number for that section. But I need to do some calculations on the page
number ( i.e. section one page number minus section 2 page number). Is it
possible to set a variable with the value of page-number-citation ?

This is not possible because variables are a feature of XSLT and the page-number-citation is a feature of XSL-FO. XSL-FO processing is independent of any transformation that creates the XSL-FO instance. XSL-FO 1.0 semantics does not allow page numbers to be operands in any kind of arithmetic, either with each other or with scalars.

I cannot think of a work-around to help you with your given example.
