\definetextbackground [mybackgroundOverlay] [mp=mpos:region:whatever]

\startuseMPgraphic{mpos:region:whatever}
     for i=1 upto nofmultipars :
         draw textext("\externalfigure[cow.pdf]") rotated 10 shifted 
center multipars[i] ;
     endfor ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext

   \startmybackgroundOverlay
         \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par}
