Have you tried modifying pg*header-size and pg*footer-size directly?

BTW, what you want will work if you use the .TP and .BS macros:

.de TP
.sp 1v
..
.de BS
.sp 1v
..
.P
This is a test
.P
This is a test
.P
This is a test.
.P
Header size is \n[pg*header-size]
.P
Footer size is \n[pg*footer-size]

You'll notice that this doesn't change pg*header-size nor pg-footer-size. 
Hmmmm.. Either this is a bug or the pg* macros are not what I think they 
are (quite probably ;). I'll have to read m.tmac again. Joergen?
