Phew. And I thought humanities require non-standard BibTeX behaviour
sometimes…
Still, \cite{} takes an optional argument which could be extended. I
regularly use something like \cite[123]{citekey} to indicate the page
number in my LaTeX documents, and this could be extended.
But since you are not trying to do something with LaTeX/BibTeX anyway, I
don't have any ideas.

Would that be a "single citation" or a "single footnote" (the latter
could 'internally' be generated by two \cite{} commands as indicated by
Christiaan)?

Not necessarily.

Never mind if it already is complicated; when following Christiaan's
concept, all you had to do is add that second reference (Rowley483) to
your bibliography.
Given that, something like
\footnote{\cite[at~186]{Rowley485} (quoting \cite[F.~Supp.~528,
534]{Rowley483}). The trial court Judge held that a free, appropriate
public education meant “that each handicapped child be given an
opportunity to achieve his full potential commensurate with the
opportunity provided to other children.” \cite[F.~Supp.~at~534]{Rowley483}.}
would yield exactly the text that you want to have depending on your
output settings (.bst in BibTeX/LaTeX, or selfdefined in biblatex).
Anyway, that is no solution for anything else than LaTeX/BibTeX. I have
no clue about what you already hacked together, but assuming something
like CiteInPages (which I tried), a citation construct like the one
above would work as well in Pages (without the \footnote{} command, of
course, you'd have to put the content of \footnote{} in a Pages footnote
[actually I've never tried CiteInPages in footnotes]).
