If you really have to do it this way .... the dev version of the filter module [1] supports pre and postambles (@Mojca: you needed these for gnuplot module). You can use:

\defineexternalfilter[mkii] [filter={texexec --xtx --result=\externalfilteroutputfile }, output=\externalfilterbasefile.pdf, directory=output, continue=yes, readcommand=\readMKII]
\define[1]\readMKII {\dontleavehmode\externalfigure[#1][location=lohi]}

\starttext
Check if this works.
