You can put each graphic in a separate document and tell context to
create a pdf with the \typesetfile command.
Creating a new environment which does all of this itself isn’t hard
because most of the stuff which is needed can be seen in the example
below.
% the external file
\startbuffer[figure-1]
\startTEXpage
\blackrule[width=4cm,height=4cm,color=blue]
\stopTEXpage
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[list=figure-1,file=figure-1.tex,prefix=no]
% process the external file at runtime
\starttext
\placefigure{External file}{\typesetfile[figure-1]}
\stoptext
