I guess something like this:

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]

\starttext

...

\page

\getfiguredimensions[texit.pdf]

\noheaderandfooterlines

\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}
   {\vbox to \vsize
      {\vskip-\dimexpr\headerheight+\topspace\relax
       \hbox to \hsize
         {\hskip-\backspace
          \externalfigure[texit.pdf][page=\recurselevel]%
          \hss}%
       \vss}}

\page

...

\stoptext

When both document have the same size you can replace TeXpage with a 
"page" layout.

\startlayout[page]
\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}{\externalfigure[...][page=\recurselevel]}
\stoplayout
