You can’t use the columns environment in framed. When you don’t need something
special you can use simplecolumns:
\starttext
\framed
[orientation=90,height=\textheight,align=normal]
{\startsimplecolumns
\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns}
\rotate{\framed
[width=\textheight,align=normal]
{\startsimplecolumns
\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns}}
\stoptext

You can take a look at streams which can be used for this.
