I'm trying to put draw lines around the footer area and put some text at the center bottom of the area. I've been trying variations of the below for a while now:
showframe
defineframed[FooterSection]
[
width=makeupwidth,
height=broad,
location=bottom,
frame=on,
rulethickness=3pt
]
setupfootertexts[FooterSection{Some text}]
starttext
Hello.
stoptext
This gives me the following:
I haven't found some combination of height and location or other parameters I've discovered to give me the desired effect. As it is, the box is too short, but the text is in the right place. How do I extend the height so it goes to the top of the footer area?

You can useheight=footerheightto make the box as high as the footer. If the contents don't change you can useboffsetto move it downwards (this is not automic, though), e.g.boffset=-0.5footerheightgives good results in your MWE. (I don't really know ConTeXt)

Use the full footer, but re-align the content.
showframe
defineframed[FooterSection]
[width=max,
height=max,
location=bottom,
align={low,middle},
frame=on,
rulethickness=3pt]
setupfootertexts[FooterSection{Some text}]

width=maxandheight=maxis more expressive and you are missing a comma afterrulethickness=3pt(in this case it does not matter but most of the time it does).

Just enable the frame around the footer using setupbackgrounds. This does not require to specify the alignment manually, doesn't screw with the existing baseline, and does not require you to wrap the footer content into a macro.

[frame=on]

You can use the max value for the width and height keys to use the available space for the frame. Another setting you have to do is to disable the strut for the footer setup, otherwise the frame won’t fill the complete vertical area of the footer.
showframe
startsetups [footer]
startframed [width=max,height=max,align={middle,low},rulethickness=3pt]
Some text
stopframed
stopsetups
setupfooter [strut=no]
setupfootertexts[texsetup{footer}]

You can use
height=footerheightto make the box as high as the footer. If the contents don't change you can useboffsetto move it downwards (this is not automic, though), e.g.boffset=-0.5footerheightgives good results in your MWE. (I don't really know ConTeXt)– Skillmon
