I have some dim recollection that I asked a similar question some time
ago, and the answer was: you can't (but I can't find a reference in the
archive, so I may be wrong). You'll have to explicitly tell ConTeXt to
start line numbering after headings:

\starttext

\chapter{First}

\startlinenumbering
A paragraph

Another paragraph.
\stoplinenumbering

\chapter{Second}

\startlinenumbering
Wait and see---nothing.
\stoplinenumbering

\stoptext
