After sttudying the sources and a bunch of trial and errors I can come up
with the following solution which works for a two solumns set!

\definecolumnset[example][n=2]

\define[1]\MargText{%
    \ifodd\mofcolumns{%
      \inleft{#1}}
    \else
      {\inright{#1}}\fi}

\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]

\MargText{Here left of column}

\input tufte

\column[local]

\input tufte

\MargText{\ifodd\mofcolumns{Hello!, still left of column}\else {Hello, now
right of column}\fi}

\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

I believe that Hans will make a generic solution...

Kind regards Willi
