You need \userpagenumber and \lastuserpagenumber to print the converted values of the pagenumber.

\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\definestructureconversionset [bodypart:pagenumber][][numbers]
\definestructureconversionset [appendix:pagenumber][][Characters]

\setuppagenumber[numberconverionset=pagenumber]

\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
\resetpagenumber
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\startsectionblockenvironment[appendix]
\resetpagenumber
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\setupheadertexts[Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber]

\starttext

\startfrontmatter

\chapter{Fontpart}

\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par}

\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter

\chapter{Bodypart}

\dorecurse{20}{\input tufte\par}

\stopbodymatter

\startappendices

\chapter{Appendix}

\dorecurse{20}{\input zapf\par}

\stopappendices

\stoptext
