for simple texts:
\def\startsometext
{\beginshapebox}
\def\stopsometext
{\endshapebox
\reshapebox{\ruledhbox{\strut\box\shapebox}}
\setbox\tsplitcontent\vbox{\flushshapebox}
\handletsplit}
\starttext
\input tufte
\splitfloat
[lines=auto]
{\placefigure{}}
{\startsometext
\dorecurse{4}{\input knuth \par}
\stopsometext}
\input tufte
\showframe
\splitfloat
[lines=auto]
{\placefigure{}}
{\starttabulate[|p|]
\NC \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth }\NC\NR
\stoptabulate}
\starttabulate[|p|]
\NC \input knuth \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
wikifyable (hm, could even be a nice article ...)
