I haven't tried this myself, but Adobe DE supports using a page template to define distinct page "regions" and assigning content to them via CSS selectors (the Adobe "EPUB Best Practices" documents gives the details). DE doesn't yet grok the oeb-page-* 'display' property values, but when it does, it should be prepared to sanely render content with books which use both a page template and the oeb-page-* display. So what you should be able to do is provide a page template for DE which places the footnotes in a footer, while also using 'display: oeb-page-foot' for future standards-compliant renderers.

Of course, as I said, I haven't actually tried this, so YMMV.
