something like this

\startluacode

figures.converters["jpg"]["lowres.jpg"] = 
function(oldname,newname,resolution)
     os.execute(string.format(
       'gm convert -density %ix%i "%s" "%s"',
       resolution,resolution,oldname,newname))
end

\stopluacode

\starttext
     \externalfigure
       [t:/sources/hacker.jpg]
       [conversion=lowres.jpg,resolution=50,width=10cm]
\stoptext

with gm replaced by whatever is needed to call imagemagick
