Aside from the other solution using makeup, a simpler way might be to just use the 'page' option for positioning the float. The following MWE achieves the same result as that with the makeup:

  \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
  \setupexternalfigures[location=default]

  \setupheadertexts[]
  \setupheadertexts[chapter][\date]
  \setupfootertexts[pagenumber]

  \starttext
  \startchapter [title={Chapter title}]
  \dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{knuth}}
  \placefigure[page]{a floating cow}{\externalfigure[cow]} 
  \dorecurse{4}{\samplefile{knuth}}
  \blank

  \dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{tufte}}
  \stopchapter
  \stoptext
