Cecil,

Here's a stab.  It uses a macro that Wolfgang wrote on getting the line count 
to automatically populate the page.  However, there's one caveat, I could not 
start the table at the beginning of the page, I had to put a ".\par" in first.  
Other than that, it works.

\setupcolors[state=start]                                               
\showframe                                                              

\def\TEntry#1#2#3#4#5#6{
    \bTR                
        \bTD #1 \eTD    
        \bTD #2 \eTD    
        \bTD #3 \eTD    
        \bTD #4 \eTD    
        \bTD #5 \eTD    
        \bTD #6 \eTD    
    \eTR                
}                       

\setupTABLE[c][each][align=middle,height=\lineheight]
\setupTABLE[r][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkyellow]
\setupTABLE[c][each][width=0.12\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][3,4][width=0.18\textwidth]

\starttext
.\par
\startalignment[middle]
\dontleavehmode
\bTABLE
    \bTR
        \bTD Verwerkt \eTD
        \bTD Datum \eTD
        \bTD Km-stand \eTD
        \bTD Kilometers \eTD
        \bTD c/l \eTD
        \bTD Liter \eTD
