Found this for 1.6 ACP pagination, could it work for homepage...

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96

Also posted the question at http://community.mybb.com/thread-112767.html , but nothing there yet.
Maybe, like you suggested, there is no way to do it.
Sure would help though.
