Answering myself: I have found this solution, using an MP background:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080305.203901.d1d3eccf.en.html
%sample%
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,distance=5mm]
\startuseMPgraphic{columnrule}
path p ; p := unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth+5mm,OverlayHeight) ;
draw lrcorner p -- urcorner p ;
setbounds currentpicture to p ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[columnrule][\useMPgraphic{columnrule}]
\setupcolumnset[example][1,2][background=columnrule]
\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][1][-26]
\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][2][-26]
\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][3][-26]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
%/sample%
The only problem is that the height of the columnrule is fixed, which
doesn't look right with balanced columns :-( Would it be possible to
force this MPgraphic{columnrule} to use the actual height of the
balanced columns, instead of going all the way down to the bottom of the
page regardless of the actual column height? Or should I give up on this
question? (I'm on MkII/XeTeX for this project, so no lua based solution
possible.)
Many thanks,
