is it possible anything like the following ?

\def\MySomeTable#1%
{
\startbuffer
#1
\stopbuffer
}

\MySomeTable{
\starttable
blah blah blah...
\stoptable
}

I find it difficult...

buffers use catcode trickery, so cannot be used in macros'; you can use 
\setbuffer[name]{...} with \getbuffer[name]

how about:

\definebuffer[Table]

\starttext

\startTable
test
\stopTable

\getTable
\getTable
\getTable

\stoptext

and

\definetabletemplate[Table][|||]

\starttext

\starttable[Table]
\NC test \NC test \NC \AR
\NC x \NC y \NC \AR
\stoptable

\stoptext
