I fought over this also for my journal. Here is what I came up with (including
some extraneous, journal-specific stuff). Note that you can use <title> and
<subject> instead of <chapter> and <section>, since the former is generally
unnumbered anyway:

==========================
\setuphead[chapter][numberstyle=normal,
                    style=\scb,
                    alternative=middle,
                    page=right,
                    number=no,
                    ownnumber=no,
                    incrementnumber=yes,
                    continue=no,
                    header=high,
                    text=high,
                    footer=empty]

\setuphead[section][numberstyle=normal,
                    textstyle=\sc,
                    continue=no,
                    number=no,
                    incrementnumber=no,
                    placehead=yes,
                    alternative=middle,
                    before={\blank[big]},
                    after={\blank[medium]}]

\setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c]

\starttext

\noheaderandfooterlines

\placecontent

\chapter{First}

\section{first}

\chapter{Second}

\section{second}

\chapter{Third}

\section{third}

\stoptext

You can look at some samples of what ConTeXt can to with a toc here:
