If we continue this way you're going to want a complete mini-page in
the footnote eventually ;-)

Seriously speaking though, you're approaching the limit of what's
currently feasible now. I don't think this can be enabled, pmwiki isn't
"recursive" enough.
It might be possible, but I suggest you try a hack instead. I.e. something
that sort of looks what you want. One such hack would be something like
this:
[^Bla bla bla \\\ indented... \\New line^]
Another way is to use 'custom markup' to introduce styling. It's possible
to use lots of different CSS stuff (<span>/<div>) but I'm not familiar
with it. Have a look here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyles
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyleExamples
A third solution is to simply not use footnote markup.. If you only have
one or two footnotes, you could simply use a normal link like this.
Bla bla bla'^[[{$Name}#note1 -> 1]]^' bla bla
:Note 1 [[#anchor1]]: Bla bla bla bla
