I have been experimenting with columnsets too. There I encounter the problem that I cannot set the distance between the columns at will.
That has been solved. Just had to dig a little deeper in columns.pdf and iron out my bugs. I will now first pursue Hans Hagens suggestion of using setuplists.
Neither lt columnsets force themselves into the frame. \starttextbackground doesn't help here, at most I get frames around the separate columns, not the thing that is wanted.
The bad thing is, that LateX multicols inside a parbox does what is wanted. It would be too bad if such behaviour could not be duplicated in ConTeXt!
