The normal place would be in the bibl-XXX style, because it depends
on that. But anywhere after \usemodule[bib], but before \starttext
should be fine. It didn't work because there is a huge (!) typo in the
current t-bib.tex. Right after loading the module, please add these
three lines to your source  (or patch the module itself)

   \def\newbibfield[#1]%
     {\simplebibdef{#1}%
      \edef\bibcommandlist{\bibcommandlist,#1}}
