The fastest way is to create a new file in the "js" folder in the root of your website. To include the Javascript file in the code, go to

System -> Configuration -> Design -> Footer -> Miscellaneous Scripts

And add your script there like you would normally do.

There are other ways, but this is the easiest way to do it.

Edit: Changed HTML head to Footer, thanks dagfr

- Edit -

The above example is not what he meant, he wants to add JS to the footer, so when he distributes the module, the JS will also be in the footer.

Answer

You can use the layout .xml file for your module to add a JS file. To do this, you can add the following code:

<action method="addItem"><type>js</type><name>script_name_here.js</name></action>

In order to place it in the footer, you will have to make a new block, which is explained in the following article.
