You can use the \doifelsenextchar command to check the character after your command.
\define[1]\MyMacro
{\doifelsenextchar{,}
{#1}
{#1. }}
\starttext
\MyMacro{left} right
\MyMacro{left}, right
\stoptext
The limitation of this method is that you check only for one character at a time
and when want to check for more you have to use multiple \doifelsenextchar lines.
\doifelsenextchar{,}
{...}
{\doifelsenextchar{.}
{...}
{...}}
