Alternative solution:
\definelayout
[titlepage]
[header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
backspace=4cm,
width=12cm]
\definestartstop
[titlepage]
[before={\setuplayout[titlepage]},
after={\page[right]\setuplayout[reset]}]
\starttext
\starttitlepage
\startcolumns
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumns
\stoptitlepage
\input knuth
\stoptext
