I also would like to be able to choose a different font and/or fontsize (\switchtobodyfont[...]), style and/or color (\color[...]) for chapter pages' header area (margin/edge/text) and non-chapter pages.
Hence, I guess... back to my initial question.

What's the way to test whether a page is a (start of a new) chapter page ?
Didn't find it on&offline.
Why and for what do you need this information?
To put different text in the margin/edge top/header/... whether a page is a
chapter page or not.
\setupheadertexts[\doifoddpageelse{right page}{left page}]
\definetext[chapter][header][chapter page]
% The \definetext command works like \setup(header/footer/...)texts and
% has 3–7 arguments, the first argument is a keyword (you can use whatever
% you want, the second is the location of the text and all other arguments
% are reseved for the content.
\setuphead
[chapter]
[header=chapter]
\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Chapter #1}\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par}}
\stoptext
