Context will place figures right or left. However Context will not AFAIK fit
text to an irregular illustration, or around an arc etc. TheTeXbook describes
a very tedious command:
\parshape
(p101)
which could allow one to fit the lines to an illustration, arc etc. by hand.
But the typesetter must calculate the distances beforehand.
Is there a higher level solution in Context?

There is a MetaFun solution in section 10.5 of the MetaFun book as of Jan 9th,
2002.

AHA!
I looked it up. If Metafun were a medicine then it would have to bear a
warning label. It is instantly addictive. This is more than I hoped for.
Thanks, and I will bury myself in the manual. See you in the Spring :-)
