I have many small footnotes (one or two words). To prevent wasting space with the footnotes I would like to have the footnotes in a two column layout and the body text in one column.
Is this possible in Framemaker (latest version)?

No, not in any version. It's a hardcoded function of the text frame
itself. You can't even split the frame manually. The footnotes
automatically go to the bottom of the text frame holding the
paragraphs with the footnote.

I should add, that you can fake it using cross-references made to look
like footnotes to a completely separate text frame/flow with it's own
column settings, but then you have maintenance issues.
