I'm not quite sure what you want to do with these numbers: something like printing out a contents page but instead of the start page of a chapter it shows the last page of the chapter?

If so then try creating a custom list and use \writetolist immediately before each \stopchapter command?

\definelist[LastPages][criterium=all]
\starttext
\completecontent
\page
\completelist[LastPages]
\page
\dorecurse{10}{
  \startchapter[title={This is my chapter}]
  This is a chapter\par \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth } \input math-kontinuitet-sv

  \writetolist[LastPages]{3.}{\namedstructurevariable{chapter}{title}}
  \stopchapter
}
\stoptext

But I can't get the number option of \writetolist to work - the "3." above is ignored. :-(
