You can play with the following example, the main point use to use the 
\setregisterentry command and pass the footnote counter with the third 
(optional) argument.

\def\IndexPageCommand#1%
   {#1\doifsomething
      {\currentregisterpageuserdata{footnote}}
      {\high{\currentregisterpageuserdata{footnote}}}}

\setupregister[index][pagecommand=\IndexPageCommand]

\starttext

\dorecurse{200}
{\samplefile{lorem}\expanded{\setregisterentry[index][entries=\recurselevel]}%
\samplefile{lorem}\footnote{xxx\expanded{\setregisterentry[index][entries=\recurselevel][footnote={\rawcountervalue[footnote]}]}}%
    \samplefile{lorem}}

\page \placeindex

\stoptext
