proof of concept:
\newcounter\TestNumber
\let\normaldodoplacelinenumber\dodoplacelinenumber
\def\dodoplacelinenumber
{\doglobal\increment\TestNumber
\xypos{lnm:\TestNumber}%
\ifdim\MPx{lnm:\TestNumber}>.5\makeupwidth
\swapmacros\inleftmargin\inrightmargin
\fi
\normaldodoplacelinenumber}
\setuplinenumbering[location=inleft]
\startcolumns
\startlinenumbering
\input tufte \endgraf
\input tufte \endgraf
\input tufte \endgraf
\stoplinenumbering
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
in order to let this work ok (spacing) we need to write a nice patch (and also use the opportunity to clean up some code) which will take a couple of hours, so not today ..
