No. Page numbering is controlled at the file level. You need to use FM's
"book/chapter" metaphor, not fight it. Separate files for frontmatter,
TOC, chapters, and index are cumbersome only if you're accustomed to,
and enamored of, wrestling with Word's section breaks. ;-)

BTW, regarding master pages, I assume you meant that the frontmatter
pages don't use any custom master pages, just the default Left/Right. If
you actually set Master Page = None and manually control the layout
(text frame placement, header/footer, etc.) -- well, that strikes me as
cumbersome. Much better to use a separate file with its default
Left/Right master pages set up for your frontmatter.
