You're misunderstanding the role of XSLT here. XSLT transforms your XML to
some other format, such as HTML, XSL-FO, CSS, etc. You could even use it to
transform directly to PDF if you were prepared to do a lot of work. The
question is (a) what format are you converting to, and (b) does that format
support side notes (and if so how). Once you've established that the target
format supports side-notes, the answer to the question whether you can
generate the side-notes using XSLT will be "yes".

Your question is a bit like asking whether you can bake a chocolate cake using
Java. If you have a cake baking machine connected to your computer and you
know what instructions you need to send it, the answer is yes; if you don't,
then the answer is no. Your question is really one about cake baking machines,
not about Java.
