I have different size pages and currently the page number may end up an inch or more from the bottom of those taller pages.

Each of these text frames should then have the automatic page numbering function active in it. To do this click inside a selected text frame with the text tool and then use Type Menu>Insert Special Characters>Markers>Cur

Just put the page number frame at the bottom of your master pages (or I do not understand the issue)

It is at the bottom of the page on the Master Page.  The Master Page is 8.5X11 letter size.  If I make a document page taller, say 11X11, then the page number is not all the way at the bottom.

Each of these text frames should then have the automatic page numbering function active in it. To do this click inside a selected text frame with the text tool and then use Type Menu>Insert Special Characters>Markers>Current Page Number. Then when you apply your Masters to all of your document pages the page number will be in exactly the same spot relative to the bottom of each page.
