The headline says it: As a convert from LaTeX I'm looking for the
functionality of LaTeX's picture environment, i.e. the placing of boxes
et al. according to absolute coordinates, possibly with calculating
measurements and coordinates on the go, like the stuff provided by the
picture package on LaTeX. (It's labels for cider bottles this time.)
Cheers -- Thomas

You’re looking for layers: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers
and maybe XY imposition: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#XY_schema

Depends on the specifics. If you just want to place labels, then use
layers. If you want labels + measuring stuff + drawing lines etc., then
use a combination of layers and metapost.

A third method apart from layers and metapost is the positioning
environment.
\setupexternalfigure[location=default]
\starttext
\startpositioning
\position(0,0){\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\position(1.5,2){\color[green]{HEAD}}
\position(10,6.5){\color[red]{UDDER}}
\stoppositioning
\stoptext
