You can use the visual module for generating “fake” text or the dum
MP module for dummy figures. Example:

% fake words
\usemodule
  [visual]

% for colourful dummy figures
\useMPlibrary
  [dum]

\setupindenting
  [yes, medium]

\starttext

\fakenwords{100}{200}

\externalfigure [dummy]

% Rumours say, Mojca used this feature for her thesis
\simplethesis

\stoptext

Have a look at the existing modules.
