The current upstream solution for this are placeholders.
Here is an example from the aptitude documentation:
<para>
These commands install, remove, or
purge<footnote><para>Purging a package removes the
package, as well as all its configuration
files.</para></footnote> the specified packages.
<quote>Installing</quote> a package which is already installed but
can be upgraded will cause it to be upgraded.
</para>
Which produces the following PO messages:
# type: Content of:
<book><chapter><section><variablelist><varlistentry><listitem><para><footnote><para>
#: en/aptitude.xml:1790
msgid ""
"Purging a package removes the package, as well as all its configuration "
"files."
msgstr ""
# type: Content of:
<book><chapter><section><variablelist><varlistentry><listitem><para>
#: en/aptitude.xml:1789
msgid ""
"These commands install, remove, or purge<placeholder0> the specified "
"packages. <quote>Installing</quote> a package which is already installed "
"but can be upgraded will cause it to be upgraded."
msgstr ""
Placeholders already exist (although they are not documented), but I don't
think the support for placeholders in 0.34 is sufficient (you can try by
adding -o placeholder="<footnote>").
This will give you one more reason to wait for the next release ;)
