No imposition, but I have added a reverse feature in a module that I am 
working on.

http://github.com/adityam/cut-n-paste

\usemodule[cut-n-paste]

\starttext

\processcutNpaste[name={file1}]
\processcutNpaste[name={file2},rotation=180, alternative=reverse]

\stoptext

Due to a bug in \getfigureddimensions in MkIV, this only works correctly 
in MkII. To use MkIV, you have to add

\setupcutNpaste[width=..., height=...]
