Example

By default, the marginblocks are flushed to the top. In case you want to flush all marginblocks to the bottom, you can do this:

\setuplayout[
    backspace=4cm,
    leftmarginwidth=2cm,
    width=fit,
]

\setupmarginblocks[
    location=left,
    width=\leftmarginwidth,
    top=\vfilll,
    bottom=,
]

\definemarginblock[demoblock][state=start]

\definefloat
   [marginfigure]
   [figure]
   [default=margin]

\starttext

\dorecurse{10}{
\startplacemarginfigure[reference=#1]
\framed[width=\leftmarginwidth,height=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=darkyellow]{#1}
\stopplacemarginfigure
See \in[#1]. \samplefile{tufte}
}

\dorecurse{10}{
\startmarginblock[demoblock]
\framed[width=\leftmarginwidth,height=5cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=darkred]{#1}
\stopmarginblock
See \in[#1]. \samplefile{tufte}
}

% One left, flush.
\flushallmarginblocks[1]
\stoptext

The result looks like this:
