I am looking for the load bearing capability of 2-inch schedule-40 PVC. Specifically, can it be buried at a 24-inch depth and a non-load-bearing building post be placed on top of it with an 8-inch footer poured first on top of the pipe?

I wouldn't use schedule 40 for your particular application. I would use schedule 80; it is much more rigid and is very tough. You can drive heavy equipment or commercial vehicles over schedule-80 PVC if it's buried sufficiently. Use schedule 80 and bury it deeper than 24' inches, if possible, and you shouldn't have any problems.
