Is it possible to pass context into a component instantiated with ReactDOM.render?

by

No. Before react 0.14 there was method React.withContext, but it was removed.

However you can do it by creating HoC component with context, it would be something like:

import React from 'react';

function createContextProvider(context){
  class ContextProvider extends React.Component {
    getChildContext() {
      return context;
    }

    render() {
      return this.props.children;
    }
  }

  ContextProvider.childContextTypes = {};
  Object.keys(context).forEach(key => {
    ContextProvider.childContextTypes[key] = React.PropTypes.any.isRequired; 
  });

  return ContextProvider;
}

And use it as following:

const ContextProvider = createContextProvider(context);

ReactDOM.render(
  <ContextProvider>
    <MyComponent prop1={someVar} />
  </ContextProvider>,
  someDomNode
);
