I don't think last page can be obtained in single pass. In two pass,
surely you can get this. The following code might help:

\def\lastpage{0}
\AtEndDocument{%
  \clearpage
  \addtocounter{page}{-1}
  \immediate\write\@auxout{\string\lastpage{\thepage}}
}

Now, 

  Page \thepage\space of \lastpage

should give you what you want. Anyway, you need two passes in any
LaTeX compilation to fix cross references and bib cites. So there are
no overheads. By the way, pdfscreen.sty uses this mechanism for
getting the current page number and last page number for one of its
navigation buttons. You can have a look if you have problems.

Best.
