depending on how you made your TOC, you may be able to draw a 
different form for each title line in the TOC, and define each
form's content at the end.

if titles is the list of titles, titlespages is the list of titles' 
page numbers, and N is the number of entries in your TOC, just do
something like that to construct your TOC :

for i in range(N) :
        canv.drawString(x, y, "%s" % titles[i])
        canv.doForm("formname%i" % i)
        
and just do the following just before ending your document : 

        for i in range(N) :
            canv.beginForm("formname%i" % i)
            canv.drawString(0, 0, "Page %i" % titlespages[i])
            canv.endForm()
            
This is completely untested but should work.
