Hello,
I've done it in LaTeX, worked very well, these were my first lines:
\documentclass[portrait,a0]{a0poster}
\usepackage{multicol,pstricks,textpos}
Should work with ConTeXt also without much problems.

You can make the gradient at least with MetaFun or PStricks. Making
backgrounds is easy with ConTeXt, see for example the mail about
"draft stamp" 3 weeks ago.

Should be possible with \position.

Cheers, Peter
