Yes, but it's stupid.  I wrote that before I was clued into
(select-elements).  Do this instead:

(element section
	 (let ((footnotes (select-elements (descendants (current-node))
					   "FOOTNOTE")))
	   (sosofo-append (process-children)
			  (if (not (node-list-empty? footnotes))
			      (make rule
				    orientation: 'horizontal)
			      (empty-sosofo))
			  (with-mode footnotes
				     (process-node-list footnotes)))))

(mode footnotes
      (element footnote
	       (make paragraph)))
