Write this where you want to make the footnote
<a href="#X" id="refX"><sup>[FOOTNOTE]</sup></a>
Where you want to link back to the post text, write
<a href="#refX" id="X">BACK TO POST</a>
The “X” is only used for internal linking. You can replace that with a code or number of your own choice, e.g. “footnote1″ or “fn1″ or whatever, just remember to keep the “#” and the “ref”. “FOOTNOTE” can be a number or letter or whichever you use to designate footnotes. “BACK TO POST” can be a text of your own choice.

http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/06/how-do-i-page-jump/

In case this is (justifiably) incomprehensible to you, let me try to tailor it to footnotes.

Where you want your first reference, you can write:
<a href="#f1"> [1]</a>
After the end of the main text, your first footnote should have
<a name="f1">1. </a>
followed by the text of the footnote.

Same for the rest of your footnotes (replace the 1s with 2s, etc.).

You'll have to format it by hand, although I don't know if you can achieve a superscript. You might have to use asterisks. The Paste from Word option might work, but creating posts in Word often causes problems. See the FAQ for more.
