you can hook in metapost code and draw any border you want

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startuniqueMPgraphic{border}
   draw OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor red ;
   draw leftboundary OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 3pt withcolor green ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[border][\uniqueMPgraphic{border}]

\starttext

\bTABLE[frame=off]
\bTR \bTD[background=border] some test   \eTD \bTD oeps       \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD just a test \eTD \bTD[background=border] oeps again \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

\stoptext
