The above solution was for MkIV. For completeness, this is how you will do 
the same with MkII. I don't know how to get the page numbers correct in 
the TOC in this case.

% 1. frontmatter pagenumbering conversion=romannumerals
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
   \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

% 2. bodymatter pagenumbering "chapter-page"
% 3. reset pagenumber for each chapter
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
   \setuppagenumber[number=1]
   \setuppagenumbering[way=bychapter, chapternumber=yes]
\stopsectionblockenvironment


% 4. add blank pages if necessary to start chapters on odd pages.
% 5. Page number in top margin
\setuppagenumbering[location={header,margin},alternative=doublesided]
