I guess this is also possible with textbackground:

\newcounter\CurrentBackground

\def\StartBackground
  {\doglobal\increment\CurrentBackground
   \setposition{Background:b:\CurrentBackground}%
   \startbackground}

\def\StopBackground
  {\stopbackground
   \setposition{Background:e:\CurrentBackground}}

\def\DrawBackground
  
{\ifnum\MPp{Background:b:\CurrentBackground}=\MPp{Background:e:\CurrentBackground}
     \startMPcode
     draw topboundary    OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw bottomboundary OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw leftboundary   OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw rightboundary  OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     \stopMPcode
   \else\ifnum\realpageno=\MPp{Background:b:\CurrentBackground}
     \startMPcode
     draw topboundary    OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw leftboundary   OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw rightboundary  OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     \stopMPcode
   \else\ifnum\realpageno=\MPp{Background:e:\CurrentBackground}
     \startMPcode
     draw bottomboundary OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw leftboundary   OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw rightboundary  OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     \stopMPcode
   \else
     \startMPcode
     draw leftboundary   OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     draw rightboundary  OverlayBox withcolor red ;
     \stopMPcode
   \fi\fi\fi}

\defineoverlay[DrawBackground][\DrawBackground]

\starttext

\setupbackground[background=DrawBackground]

\input knuth

\StartBackground
\dorecurse{12}{\input knuth\par}
\StopBackground

\input knuth

\StartBackground
\input knuth\par
\StopBackground

\input knuth

\stoptext
