given that you know how to handle the numbering [see earlier mails]: 

\def\MyInsert%
  {\ifnum\realpageno=10
     \dorecurse{5}{whow \page}
   \fi}

\appendtoks \MyInsert \to \everyaftershipout

\starttext

\dorecurse{20}{test \page}

\stoptext

don't tell anyone about this hack, should be proper functionality.
