\setupbodyfont[cmr,sansserif]

or (since cmr is already active) 

\ss 

keep in mind: \setupbodyfont changes the document fonts too, local changes
are \switchtobodyfont, which leaves the headers and footers untouched.

Given that sans is supported in math -) 

\startMPenvironment 
  whatever you like to be setup
\stopMPenvironment 

This wil be passes to the tex run done by mp.

\enableencoding [il1]

Although this depends on the font too of course. Basically, anything that
can be done in context, can be done in metapost, even \framed{text} works,
although mp does better framing. 

You can experiment with this using 

\starttext 

\startMPenvironment 
   ....
\stopMPenvironment

\startMPpage
  mp code 
\stopMPpage 

\stoptext
