No. The input (OEB, the inside of EPUB) to FB2 does not support denoting a footnote (Okay it does but no one uses it). 99.999% of footnotes are interspersed in the document as a normal link. So there is no way for FB2 output to know if the link is a footnote or just a link. The [1] isn't added by the FB2 output as it just translates the OEB it's given into the FB2 format.

It would be possible to use a heuristic to detect [number] is a footnote but I have no plans to do this.
