Yup. Simply do something like
<xsl:template match="/">
...
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<hr/> <!-- putting in a rule just to separate off the notes -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="//footnote" mode="notes"/>
...
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="footnote">
<sup><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></sup>
<!-- displays the value of the ID but nothing else -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="footnote" mode="notes">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<!-- processing the node again in the default mode just to get the ID -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<!-- next just descending the tree to get the note's contents -->
</p>
</xsl:template>

See above.
Modes on templates allow you to process a given set of nodes in more than
one different way.
