Cecil,

Here's a stab.  It uses a macro that Wolfgang wrote on getting the line count 
to automatically populate the page.  However, there's one caveat, I could not 
start the table at the beginning of the page, I had to put a ".\par" in first.  
Other than that, it works.

\setupcolors[state=start]                                               
\showframe                                                              

\def\TEntry#1#2#3#4#5#6{

        \bTD #6 \eTD    
    \eTR                
}
