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.
