The Metafun experts would probably tear this apart...
\startuniqueMPgraphic{half circle}
path p, q ;
p := fullcircle scaled OverlayWidth;
q := (p cutafter (point .5 along p)) shifted (0,-.5BodyFontSize) ;
fill q -- cycle withcolor lightgray ;
draw q withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor darkred ;
setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox p ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[half circle][\uniqueMPgraphic{half circle}]
\starttext
\framed[background=half circle,frame=off]{Text width half circle.}
\stoptext
