This is possible and I give you a very simple and dirty version below
but can you explain why do you want this, I thought you want verbatim
output and spaces after punctuation marks are part of verbatim code.
\starttext
\startlines
\catcode`!=13
\catcode`:=13
\catcode`.=13
\def.{\char`.\ignorespaces}
\def:{\char`:\ignorespaces}
\def!{\char`!\ignorespaces}
text text, text. text: text! text text
text text, text! text. text: text text
text text, text: text! text. text text
text text, text. text: text! text text
\stoplines
\stoptext
