Here's what I just figured out literally 10 minutes ago. It works, but
it seems a bit of a hack. Is there a better way? 

Paul

%Footnotes with indenting 

\starttext
% define amount to indent
\setupnarrower[left=12pt]

At present I am a sojourner in civilized life
again. \footnote{\startnarrower[left]
% need a negatvie vskip so ConTeXt won't read this as a paragrpah.
\vskip-12pt
\hskip-12pt Thoreau started writing {\sl Walden} in 1846, a few
months after he started living at Walden Pond. He moved back to
Concord late in 1847. By that point he had drafted half of the
manuscript. He continued to work on it for several years.
