No, since one cannot set the output file from within tex. But, when using
result and a recent context version, you can ask for the result name during
a run. The final name is available in \outputfilename

I'm not sure what you mean, but yesterday I implemented

  texexec --suffix="-s" filename

so that you get filename-s as result file. I needed it for: 

  texexec --suffix="-s" *.tex
