Simplify works on my system to get rid of the radicals
$Version
5.2 for Mac OS X (June 20, 2005)
Needs["Calculus`FourierTransform`"];
FourierTrigSeries[Cos[t],t,5,FourierParameters->{0,1/Pi}]//Simplify
(2*(2310*Cos[2*t] - 462*Cos[4*t] + 198*Cos[6*t] - 110*Cos[8*t] + 70*Cos
[10*t] + 3465))/(3465*Pi)
