\usepackage{everyshi}
\makeatletter
  \let\totalpages\relax
  \newcounter{mypage}
  \EveryShipout{\stepcounter{mypage}}
  \AtEndDocument{\clearpage
  \immediate\write\@auxout{%
  \string\gdef\string\totalpages{\themypage}}}
  \let\tthepage=\thepage
  \let\thepage\relax
\def\thepage{\tthepage/\totalpages}
\makeatother

ps: three compilations needed.
