Something like the below, perhaps?

  (aref (font-info (font-at POS)) 3)

This will give you the height of the font used at position POS.  Then
you could add that to the y-coordinate of the line at EOB, to get the
bottom y-coordinate of that line.  (Caveat: font-at doesn't like to be
called at EOB, so make sure you are one buffer position before that.)
