Does this help?

+ Open Masters

+ Click on each Master and "paste" the footer. Rinse-n-repeat

Fortunately, Keynote places any pasted text like that in precisely the
same place on every Master slide so it's just the
paste....paste....paste process that's a little annoying but this works.

That is the conclusion I was coming to. There is an alternate solution
that involves editing the master, but since citations may occur on some
slides, and not others, that seems to be a problematic solution to me.
In any case, I do not see any reference to a footnote anywhere in the
menus.

Beamer+ LaTeX even allows you use to \cite{} commands in the document
and specify same slide placement by wrapping it with \footnote{}, but
such nifty things are absent in the WYSIWYG world.

I agree - most citation-containing slides have just one citation (more
than one would be somewhat unusual, and a sign that the slide may be
too complex).
