Yes. The problem is that in order for auto width to work we need to have
some width to start with. Also, because we want TEXpage to be in
vertical mode, we cannot assume it being horizontal. So, a chicken-egg
problem. The good news is that you can control it, the bad news is that
you have to update the wiki,
\starttext
\startTEXpage[align=normal,width=900pt,autowidth=force]
\framed[width=800pt,frame=off]{\number\dimexpr800pt}\par
\input tufte\par
\stopTEXpage
\startTEXpage[align=normal,width=100cm,autowidth=force]
X \hskip20cm X
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
