This is where I lost the point... I understand this is hard because you don't know which column to use as a reference for the footer positioning. But couldn't you wrap the three columns in an relatively positioned div and position the footer relative the the whole thing?
When you position something absolutely, you remove it from the normal document flow. This means that no matter how long the individual columns are, they will not "push" the height of the container at all. In the worst case, if all you'd have in that container is absolutely positioned columns, the container will collapse to a height of zero.
The same happens when you use floats inside a container: if you don't have something as the last item of the container to clear them, the container will collapse.
