Here is a better approach:
==================================================
\setupoutput[pdftex]%
\installlanguage[NH][lefthyphenmin=100,righthyphenmin=100]
\starttext
\language[NH]
\input knuth
\language[en]
\input knuth
\stoptext
==================================================
Even better, take the definition of [nl] in type-ger.tex and add it to
\installlanguage[NH].
Hans: the following would be nice to have:
\setuplanguage[<name>][hyphenation=off]
>Putting single words in a mbox also doesn't help... ;(
mbox?!? Dost thou blaspheme!?!

Best
