In an itemize environment,does anybody know how to make the foonotes
appear in the same overlay as the corresponding \item?

For some reason, I always get all the footnotes to appear together in
the last overlay

Remember that \pause hides _everything_ that follows. So you need to
cancel that before the end of the slide to make footnotes visible.
This has been requested before (search the mailinglist). This is done
by the command \showall. Then you have will get 2 footnotes, also
number 2 on slide 1. That is beceause powerdot needs to process all
the material to know what space it will take. It can't distinguish
between true material and things that are postponed (like footnotes),
so it can't apply the visibility rules to the footnotes automatically.
So you have to hide footnote 2 on the first overlay. See all below.

\documentclass{powerdot}
\makeatletter
\def\showall{\pst@Verb{(0) BOL}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}{test}
\begin{itemize}
\item item 1\footnote{footnote 1}\pause
\item item 2\onslide*{2-}{\footnote{footnote 2}}
\end{itemize}
\showall
\end{slide}
\end{document}
