Or would one want to? Amstex is actually a complete package in itself, so I suppose you refer to the math part (not the general structuring and layout part). Currently Taco (who is using context at kluwer to process math oriented smgl) is collecting al kind of math things as they appear in their periodicals. So, apart from amstex functionality, more specialized fetaures are needed. When this inventory is made, as well as additional funcionality is specified, it will be turned into a math module. (Just like there is a chemical module, there will be a math one, and some day one for the languages). The aim is to have a consistent set of macros fitting into the context syntax. So, to answer your question, yes, some amstex functionality is definitely worth using, and will be available as well.
