I can't see how to do this in ConText. I can see that the first task
- converting an integer to a string - could be done by a macro or
external command, such as Wolfgang's zahl2string.... But how to do
the second job - feed in a 'raw' pagenumber and output and print a
converted one?

the last to feed in the pagenumber is very easy. I show in next example
how the print the pagenumber in the header with words rather than numbers:

\usemodule[zahl2string]

\starttext

\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupheadertexts[\numstr\pagenumber]

Text

\stoptext

BTW, these are not my macros, they come from Jonathan Sauerand
I convertred them only to plain TeX.
