Does the following fit your needs?
·································································
\newdimen\myborderoffset \myborderoffset=1cm
\definelayout[mypage][page]
\setuplayout [mypage][
backspace=\myborderoffset,
topspace=\myborderoffset,
]
\setuplayout[mypage]
\showframe
\def\docowpage{%
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=\vsize,height=\hsize]}\page%
}
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\docowpage}
\stoptext
