this is the readable way:

\showframe

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesiddd]

\setupheadertexts[]
\setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}]

\startsetups[text a]
   \rlap{\pagenumber}
   \hfill
   \getmarking[chapter]
   \hfill
   \llap{whatever}
\stopsetups

\startsetups[text b]
   \rlap{whatever}
   \hfill
   \getmarking[section]
   \hfill
   \llap{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups

\starttext

\chapter{test chapter} \page \section{test section}

\stoptext

(it's up to you to submit it into the wiki)
