Thank you, this almost works, but the title graphic (of thesis size)
is not centered on the A4 paper, but in the lower right corner. How
can I make it go to the right place?
\definepapersize[thesis][width=169mm, height=239mm]
\setuppapersize[thesis][A4]
\starttext
\startMPgraphic
% Some metafun
\stopMPgraphic
\loadcurrentMPgraphic{possibly something should go here?}
\placeMPgraphic
% Some text
\stoptext
Untested, but how about
\loadcurrentMPgraphic %{width=\textwidth}
%Try with and without textwidth
\placefigure
  [here]
  {none}
  {\placeMPgraphic}
Yes, I tried that; with no arguments to \loadcurrentMPgraphic the
thesis page is placed on the bottom of the A4 and not quite in the
middle (?). with width=\textwidth or \makeupwidth the result is the
same.

PS: In future, also copy to the list, others may have better idea on
how to do this.
Yes, I had intended to, and thought I did, but apparently I am more
trigger happy than I allow for ...
Thank you for your help, Johan

Dear expertise,
I have the following:
\definepapersize[thesis][width=169mm, height=239mm]
\setuppapersize[thesis][A4]
\setuplayout
[location=middle, marking=on]
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided, location=marginedge, state=stop]
\starttext
% Title page
\startMPpage
% Some metafun
\stopMPpage
% Some text
\stoptext
The resulting pdf has a smaller first page (thesis size) while the
rest are A4 with the thesis pages place centrally. I would like to see
the title page placed on an A4 sheet as well. What am I doing wrong?
MPpage creates a page with dimensions equal to the bounding box of the
graphic. If you want to center a MP figure on your title page, use
\startMPgraphic
