I run into similiar problems for my letter module to reset the page
number for every letter in one document without reseting the global
pagenumber, I extend my example to use subpagenumber instead of global
numbers but I have a problem to get the right number in the table of
content because ConTeXt writes the gobal page number in the galley
files and ignores the subpagenumber.

\startcomponent structure

% setups

\setupsubpagenumber[way=bytext,state=start]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]

\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
  %\setupfootertexts[\convertnumber{r}{\subpagenumber}]
  \setupfootertexts[pagenumber]
  \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
  \setuppagenumber[number=1] % else global pagenumbers in the toc
  \resetsubpagenumber
  \setupfootertexts[page \subpagenumber{} of \numberofsubpages]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\startsectionblockenvironment[backpart]
  \resetsubpagenumber
\stopsectionblockenvironment

% the real document

\startfrontmatter
\completecontent
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\dorecurse{12}{\section{Knuth}\input knuth\par}
\stopbodymatter

\startbackmatter
I'm the last page, really?

This is true in latest the \CONTEXT\ for \LUATEX\ but not for \XETEX\
and \PDFTEX. \stopbackmatter

\stopcomponent
