To use code folding in vim you don't have to apply any patches. You
could just use foldmarkers to get what you want.

[Example.tex]
text text text \footnote
% [[[
{The text of the footnote.}
% ]]]
text continues here.
eof.

Just put this at the end of your file to activate the appropriate
folding method:
% vim: set foldmethod=marker foldmarker=[[[,]]]: 

See
:help foldmethod
:help foldmarker

You can open the folds with zo, and close them with zc in normal mode.
See :help fold for more details.

Hope it is not impolite to suggest a non-Tex solution on the list :)

Cheers,
