Zend has a form note view helper (Zend_View_Helper_FormNote), which you can use to add text.

Just create a new form element (/application/forms/Element/Note.php):

class Application_Form_Element_Note extends Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml  
{  
    public $helper = 'formNote';  
}

In your form:

$note = new Application_Form_Element_Note(
    'test',
    array('value' => 'This is a test')
);
$this->addElement($note);
