Yeah, the "completer" style is looked up very early, before the command
line has even been analyzed to figure out what command word is the
active context.

However, for _approximate specifically, you can do this:

   zstyle -e ':completion:*:approximate:*' max-errors \
     '[[ $words[1] = foo ]] && reply=(0) || \
      reply=($((($#PREFIX+$#SUFFIX)/3)) numeric)'
