In case someone else is interested, I finally ended up using the following
code:
\definemeasure[page][\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-\lineheight\relax]
\starttext
\input knuth
\framed[width=\textwidth, height=\measure{page}]{test}
\input knuth
\input knuth
\input knuth
\framed[width=\textwidth, height=\measure{page}]{test}
\stoptext
I think that this is easier than having to type the complicated \dimexpr
everytime.
