I don't know if  I get you right, but I think  you are talking about
the width  of the  caption. It  adaptes to the  with of  the figure.
There is the “minwidth” parameter  for \setupcaptions, but since the
short captions  will not be centred  it's probably not what  you aim
for.  I don't  have a  solution, but  a workaround  that alters  the
global width setting for an individual caption:

\useMPlibrary [dum]
\starttext

\startplacefigure [title=Foo Bar]
	\externalfigure [placeholder]
\stopplacefigure

\setupcaptions [width=.8\textwidth]
\startplacefigure [title={\input tufte\par}]
	\externalfigure [placeholder]
\stopplacefigure
\setupcaptions [width=fit]

\startplacefigure [title=Foo Bar]
	\externalfigure [placeholder]
\stopplacefigure

\input knuth

\stoptext
