Framed does not provide enough hooks to control the spaces. For something
like this, you can also use metapost to draw the background:
\showframe
\showboxes
\defineframedtext[leftbartext][
width=broad,
frame=off,
rulethickness=.5ex,
background=mp:offsetframe,
offset=overlay,
]
\defineoverlay[mp:offsetframe][\useMPgraphic{mp:offsetframe}]
\startuseMPgraphic{mp:offsetframe}
draw leftboundary OverlayBox
xshifted -(LeftMarginDistance + 0.5OverlayLineWidth)
withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\startleftbartext
\input knuth
\stopleftbartext
\stoptext
