It does some, yes, though not (yet) the multiline alignment parts that I need.

Yeah, I know.  The specs for what I need are "I've got this pile of 
equations written in LaTeX with the AMSmath package, and I'd like to be 
able to copy them back and forth between LaTeX and ConTeXt without needing 
to edit them."  I'm slowly working on reducing that to something that's 
actually useful as specifications (and as some code), and I hope to get 
some of that to you within the next few months or so.
