Yes, Hans sent me off-list a patch that works fine with the beta  
2006.08.22 release. The given example is:

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\setuplayout         [width=11cm]
\definelayout [odd]  [backspace=1cm]
\definelayout [even] [backspace=4cm]
\definelayout [5]    [backspace=5cm]
\definelayout [6]    [backspace=5cm]
\definelayout [-2]   [backspace=0cm,cutspace=0cm]
\definelayout [last] [backspace=0cm,cutspace=0cm]

\checkcurrentlayout \showframe

\starttext
   \dorecurse{20} {\input knuth \endgraf \input tufte \endgraf}
\stoptext

Thanks again to Hans that I guess will include it in a next release.
