ConTeXt gives you a message about missing references in the log-file but
there is no simple way to show the in the PDF which is a step backwards
because in MkII it was able to get a small message in the margins about
unknown references.
What you can do is to use the \doifelsereferencefound command to check
if the requested reference exists before you get the page number etc.
\starttext
Take a look at
\doifelsereferencefound{unknown:1}
{\at{page}[unknown:1]}
{\dummyreference\inright[style=\ttxx]{Missing reference}}.
This line ha a reference.\pagereference[unknown:2]
Take a look at
\doifelsereferencefound{unknown:2}
{\at{page}[unknown:2]}
{\dummyreference\inright[style=\ttxx]{Missing reference}}.
\stoptext
