Here is some crude test file with layers and columnsets.
Perhaps you find out what you're looking for.
I don't really understand it any more... ;-)

\definelayer[test]
\setupcolors[state=start]
%\setupbackgrounds[page][backgroundcolor=yellow,background={color,foregr 
ound,test}]
%\setlayer[test][x=10cm,y=0cm]{\externalfigure[koe]}
\setuplayer[test][position=yes]

\tracecolumnsettrue \showgrid

\starttext
\definecolumnset[vier][n=4,distance=6mm]
%\definecolumntextarea		[two] [right][x=5,y=45,nx=2,ny=18,state=start]
%\setupcolumntextareatext	[two]  
[right][{\externalfigure[koe][width=\hsize]}]

\startcolumnset[vier]

\input tufte

\placefigure[tblr]{}{}

\input zapf

\input tufte
\placefigure[btrl:3]{}{\framed{test}}

\input zapf
