definition of \@makefntext above is a simple example. Adjust it to
your need.
Since what I'm lacking here is indentation I tried to put together the
following collage by pasting a piece of code from frenchb.ldf.

\makeatletter
\newdimen\parindentFFN
\parindentFFN=10in
\renewcommand\@makefntext[1]{%
\parindentFFN\@thefnmark.~#1}
\makeatother

But I get the following error message:

! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again>
                    \unhbox

Anyone knows why it doesn't work?
Well, it looks to me as if the expansion of @makefntext tries
to perform an assignment to \parindentFFN (even though
you omitted an explicit assignment operator); surely this is
not what you intended ?
