You can set the text in the margin with the second argument of
\startplacefigure.
\define\FigureText
{\dowithnextbox
{\startlinealignment[middle]
\copy\nextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\nextboxht]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}}
\stoplinealignment}
\hbox}
\setupfloat[figure][command=\FigureText]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[title=Dummy figure][text=Margin dummy]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
