Adobe refers to that as "logical page numbering." You can set it up manually by opening the pdf in the full Acrobat (a commercial product) and using Document -> Number Pages, setting the desired options, and saving the pdf. I don't know if a DSSSL based tool chain could be made to automate that. I hope that someday fo renderers do: http://exslfo.sourceforge.net/requirements.html#logical-page-numbers
