The background mechanism for the text areas supports only a fraction of 
the normal framed options but you can do a lot when you use Metapost to 
draw the background.

\startuniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}
     path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ;
     draw p topenlarged 5mm ;
     setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[TextBackground][\uniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}]

\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuppagenumbering[state=none]

\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=TextBackground]

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext

BTW: It’s rude to crosspost without mentioning this
