You could use it to use different numbering methods for each parts.
You could also use them to use roman numbering in the frontmatter
and normal arabic numbers for the rest of the document and of this
can be done in the environment file without hacking in the document
itself (search for bodyfontenvironment in the mail archive).
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Introduction}
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\chapter{Knuth}
\chapter{Zapf}
\stopbodymatter
\startappendices
\chapter{Tables}
\chapter{Figures}
\stopappendices
\startbackmatter
\chapter{Imprint}
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
