Thanks a lot that works.

I've a follow up question. I'd like to wrap the `\setgvariable` in a a
paragraph like thing. I found out about annotations, which look like
what I've after.

Though sadly I get an error message (! Undefined control sequence) when
I use annotations. It works when I hard-code a value within the
annotation, but it doesn't if I use the contents of the annotation. I've
also tried it the `\placeannotationcontent` way, but there I get the
same error. Here's the full example:

\starttext

\definelayer [pagenumber][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[pagenumber][{\directsetup{pagenumber}\tightlayer[pagenumber]}]

\startsetups pagenumber
\setlayerframed
[pagenumber]
[preset=rightbottom]
{\getvariable{table}{p}}
\stopsetups

\define[2]\PageWrapper{\setgvariable{table}{p}{#2}}

\usemodule[annotation]
\defineannotation
[pn]
[alternative=command, command=\PageWrapper]
Use this defintion for your \startpn … \stoppn command:

\define\startpn
  {\grabuntil{stoppn}{\setgvariable{table}{p}}}
