Maybe something like this:

\showframe

\setuplayout
  [backspace=3cm,
   leftmargin=1cm,
   rightmargin=2cm,
   width=fit]

\setuppagenumbering
  [alternative=doublesided]

\setupheadertexts[]

\setuptexttexts
  [margin]
  []
  [\unframed[align=middle,width=\outermarginwidth]{\pagenumber}]
  [\unframed[align=middle,width=\outermarginwidth]{\pagenumber}]
  []

\starttext

\dorecurse{50}{\samplefile{tufte}\par}

\stoptext

I hope I understood what you meant.
