Well, you don't have to get into META (which is a pity :), just copy
and paste a piece of code from section 6 "Page backgrounds" into your
file. Here are two different examples taken from the manual. So don't
blame me for any errors :)
% output=pdf
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{concept}
draw btex \bf CONCEPT etex rotated 60 withcolor .8white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-.5cm) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[concept][\uniqueMPgraphic{concept}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=concept]
\input tufte
\stoptext
\endinput
% output=pdf
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright}
picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ;
setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ;
draw p withcolor .8white ;
xyscale_currentpicture(\the\leftmarginwidth,\the\textheight) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\setuptexttexts [margin] [] [\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]
\input tufte
\stoptext
I am not sure if you need a working metafun format for this. In case
you have not done this:
texexec --alone --make metafun
and copy this file to texmf/web2c/metafun.mem

OK, I hope I won't come back to you :) (Yes, I have read the other
message)
