Your example was very helpful. Using it, and with some more
RTFM, I came up with this configuration:

\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\numcommand,page=right,
header=none,textcommand=\texcommand,align=right]

\def\numcommand#1{\hfil\webo m\hfil\tfd#1\hfil\webo m\hfil\break}

\def\texcommand#1{\hfil #1 \hfil\crlf\deco}


My problem remains with the horizontal alignment of the chapter
text. I have tried left, right, normal, broad. All I want to do
is center it, per my specification 2 above. 

Webo is the webomints dingbat font.
