If the component identifier matches the file name (e.g. if you
use the asterisk instead of a name), you can use
\currentcomponent. So the main file foo.tex would look like:

    \setuppagenumbering[location=]
    %% footer:                    main file->component file
    \setupfootertexts[pagenumber][{\jobname->\currentcomponent}]
    \startproduct *
      \input ward \page
      \component bar
    \stopproduct

And bar.tex:

    \startcomponent *
      \input knuth \page
    \stopcomponent
