i dunno what the intended effect is but here's an example
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
draw fullcircle scaled 4cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm ;
setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox fullcircle scaled 4cm ;

\ruledhbox{\useMPgraphic{test}}
\vskip3cm
\ruledhbox{\clip{\useMPgraphic{test}}}
\stoptext
