Found a solution:
Put [\footnotemark] as ERT at the place where the footnote number should appear.
Put [\footnotetext{Text of the footnote}] as ERT into one of the cells
in the next row (or thereabouts).
This will place the footnote text on the first page of the longtable.
If you want it on the last page of the longtable, place the
[\footnotetext]-construct below the longtable.
Note that from what I've read, this will probably not work with
multiple footnotes.
Thank you for your suggestions, everyone!
