After some puzzeling I can come up with the following solution:

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout
   [header=0pt,
    footer=1cm,
    backspace=6cm,
    topspace=3cm]

\starttext
     \combinepages[main.pdf][nx=2,ny=1,frame=on,distance=2cm]
\stoptext

i.e. basically the layout of the lnadscape A4 has to be done first. Here 
you can reserve some space at the left margin. After \starttext, the pages 
can be combined. The distance option does tell the distance between the two 
pages.

I hope that this is what you are looking for.

Kind regards Willi
