Does this help? It's ugly, but somewhat functional

% the unexpanded is because we do not want
% actual \lowercase commands in the contents list
\unexpanded\def\dodowncase{\lowercase}

% The redefinition of \dodowncase removes the \lowercase command locally
\def\myplacecontent{{\def\dodowncase{}\placecontent}}

\starttext

\myplacecontent

\section{\dodowncase{This is A SECtion}}
\subsection{\dodowncase{This is A sub-SECtion}}
\subsection{\dodowncase{Another Subsec}}

\stoptext
