Make the workspace size bigger than the final board.  Draw a 10 mil
rectangle on any layer named "outline" (change an unused one if
needed) that's the size of your final board.  Now you can position
connectors relative to the outline.  PCB will use the "outline" layer
to produce the gerber FAB drawings, and knows how to add that to every
PS output page if needed.
