You can put each graphic in a separate document and tell context to
create a pdf with the \typesetfile command.

Creating a new environment which does all of this itself isn’t hard
because most of the stuff which is needed can be seen in the example
below.

% the external file

\startbuffer[figure-1]
\startTEXpage
\blackrule[width=4cm,height=4cm,color=blue]
\stopTEXpage
\stopbuffer

\savebuffer[list=figure-1,file=figure-1.tex,prefix=no]

% process the external file at runtime

\starttext
\placefigure{External file}{\typesetfile[figure-1]}
\stoptext
