Or you can draw frames around the pages.
\setuppapersize [A6,landscape] [A3]
\setuppagenumbering [location=]
\setupbodyfont [sans, 58pt]
\setuplayout [nx=2, ny=4]
\setupbackgrounds [page] [background=cropmarks, setups=cropmarks]
\definelayer [cropmarks] [state=repeat]
\startsetups cropmarks
\doifoddpageelse{}{%
\setlayerframed [cropmarks]
[frame=off,
bottomframe=on,
leftframe=on,
width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]{}}
\stopsetups
\starttext
\dorecurse{4}
{\null\vfill\centerline\recurselevel\vfill\null\page}
\stoptext
I don't know why the frame is missing on the first page.
