You can try zwpagelayout. I wrote it because geometry can do the
things that I do not need and cannot (or could not) do what I need
every day. Versions 1.3 has just been released on CTAN, it will soon
appear in TeX Live. The previous versions had problems with the
ifxetex package, thus it was necessary to load fontspec after
awpagelayout. The problem is fixed in 1.3.
