I've only had a quick look, but I'm guessing the various footer display options are switched in code, with separate data strings for each. I can see strings for e.g. "Page %1 / %2", but presumably there's no known way to introduce additional data into the footer at this time?
It might be possible to create a patch to do that, but it would probably be quite difficult. With the source code it would be trivial, but adding something extra with a patch usually requires extensive re-writing of the surrounding code to make enough room to fit in the extra thing.

Edit: There is already a quick way to switch between percentage and page number (and time remaining in KePubs) by long-pressing the footer.

Edit2: An extra complication with such a patch is that the "Page %1 of %2" string is used in other parts of the UI such as in the library lists, where a percentage is not used.
