Load a font or move the \setlayer commands after \starttext.
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bkg]
\definelayer[bkg][x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\setlayerframed[bkg][frame=off,width=\paperwidth,height=50mm]{\definedfont[Mono at 10mm]Some text}
\setlayerframed[bkg][frame=off,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{\definedfont[Mono at 240mm]X}
\starttext
\page[empty]
\stoptext
