It's possible, but I don't know if it's possible to get it to
appear next to existing text.

The pagelist template would be:

    [[#pagelistcount]]
    (:if equal {>$FullName}:){$$PageCount}(:if:)
    [[#pagelistcountend]]

See, for example, http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/PLC .

It could be done much more quickly (and possibly displayed
better) with a custom pagelist format function -- let me
know if you want me to prototype this.
