How about: 

\setupheadertexts[\hfill text odd \hfill][\hfill text even\hfill]

\setuplayout
  [margin=0cm] % otherwise funny side effect, I will correct that 

\setupheader
  [text]
  [after={\blackrule[width=\textwidth,height=0pt,depth=1pt]

\setupheadertexts[oeps]

\noheadersandfooters test \page test 

You can influence the distance with the height and distance of the header. 

For the moment a better alternative is: 

\setupheadertexts[{\framed[....]{some text}}]
