Using layers you can also do direct x-y positioning of your components:
\definelayer[frontispiece]
\defineoverlay[frontispiece][\composedlayer{frontispiece}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=frontispiece]
\setlayer[frontispiece][x=0in,y=0in]{\externalfigure[frontispiece]}
I have only one component here, but I believe you can repeat the
\setlayer with different x-y for the other components. (Sorry:
"frontispiece" is a label for three different things here: layer,
overlay, graphic).
I worked this out from examples in the mailing list archives. I don't
see it my docs yet, but I haven't downloaded docs for a while.
A trick I have used when faced with complicated graphic setups is to
create separate documents as little mini pages, create them as correctly
sized PDFs and then include the PDFs as graphics in the main document.
If I were a real ConTeXt users I suppose I would know how to use
metapost...
