There's no simple way to do that, probably.

Can you tell where the footnote texts end (say, a manual page break inserted by the OCR software)?
You might be able to write a macro then, something like:

-- Search for the next asterisk (footnote reference in the text) and set a bookmark there,
-- Search down for the next asterisk (footnote reference at the end of the page) and select the footnote text,
-- Cut it to the clipboard,
-- Go back to the bookmark,
-- Insert a "real" footnote, and paste the footnote text.
-- Wash, rinse and repeat until you don't find any more asterisks.

And hope you don't have more than one footnote on the same page (or step
2 will not find the corresponding text ...?).
