It's possible, and it's easy..
Replace your footer template with this one:
$ad_location[ad_footer_start]
$spacer_close
<!-- /content area table -->
<br />
<div class="footerblah">
<div class="sitelinks">
<font style="font-size:15px; font-weight:bold">Site Links</font><br />
? <a href="#" rel="nofollow" accesskey="9">Home</a>
<br />
? <if condition="$show['contactus']"><a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]" rel="nofollow" accesskey="9">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a></if>
<br />
? <if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']"><a href="archive/index.php">$vbphrase[archive]</a></if>
<br />
? <a href="#">Privacy Statement</a>
<br />
? <a href="#">Terms of Service</a>
<br />
</div>
<div class="communitylinks">
<font style="font-size:15px; font-weight:bold">Some Links</font> <br />
? <a href="#" target="_blank">Link 1</a>
<br />

<br />
