Yes but it’s not usable because the numbers are always shown on the next page.

\definemarking[linenumber]

\define\LinenumberCommand
  {\normalexpanded{\setmarking[linenumber]{\linenumber}}}

\setuplinenumbering[command=\LinenumberCommand]

\startsetups linenumber

	\doiftext {
		\getmarking[linenumber]
	}
	{
		\getmarking[linenumber][first] – \getmarking[linenumber][last]
	}

\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts[\texsetup{linenumber}]

\starttext

\dorecurse{6}{\input tufte\par}

\startlinenumbering
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par}
\stoplinenumbering

\resetmarking[linenumber]

\dorecurse{6}{\input tufte\par}

\stoptext
