I have just implemented something like this using layers.  I store templates in a db which show where photos can go on a page and then allow users to put photos on the page.  If you are interested contact me directly and I can show you what I have done to have context typeset the images.  Some of the information is on the context wiki, but I have not finished updating it.  The system allows users to select any size of book and the templates adjust accordingly.  The front end allowing the users to place the photos is not quite done yet.
