I suppose you need 'postponing'. See
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startpostponing
[One can specify a page explicitly, or, more conveniently, an offset]
First, we define a makeup and enable header, footer and page for it. Then we can put the float inside the makeup and wrap it with \start...\stoppostponing. Here is a MWE:
%%% start example
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\definemakeup
[FloatPage]
\setupmakeup
[FloatPage]
[headerstate=normal,
pagestate=start,
align=middle,
footerstate=normal]
\setupheadertexts[]
\setupheadertexts[chapter][\date]
\setupfootertexts[pagenumber]
\starttext
\startchapter [title={Chapter title}]
\startpostponing[+1]
\startFloatPagemakeup
\placefigure{a floating cow}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\stopFloatPagemakeup
\stoppostponing
\dorecurse{6}{\samplefile{knuth}}
\blank
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{tufte}}
\stopchapter
\stoptext
%%% stop example
Of course, I think some manual hand-tuning is required (in the final stages of the document) in deciding the right place to put the postponing block and in deciding what offset is best.
