\starttext is only a artificial border at the begin of the document and
there is nothing which prevents you to put text before it. ConTeXt
delays (or resets) a few settings (e.g. loading the default fonts) until
this point but the document begins on the first line of the input file.
\setupbodyfont[modern-designsize]
Page \pagenumber.
\page
\starttext
Page \pagenumber.
\stoptext

Setting the value of result on the first line is simple because ConTeXt
already checks it.
