\starttext

\startbuffer
\startcombination
  {\externalfigure[fig.1]} {\sym{a} Short caption}
  {\externalfigure[fig.1]} {\setupalign[normal]\sym{b} Things don't
                            look so good with longer captions\par}
\stopcombination
\stopbuffer

\placefigure[here][fig1]{}{\getbuffer}

\stoptext
