from the manual, named setups:

\setupxtable[suffix][align=middle,foregroundcolor=red]
\setupxtable[blabla][foregroundstyle=slanted]
\setupxtable[crap]  [foregroundcolor=blue]
\setupxtable[bold]  [crap][foregroundstyle=bold]

\startxtable % [frame=off]
     \startxtablehead
         \startxrow[bold]
             \startxcell[suffix]       head a \stopxcell
             \startxcell[blabla]       head b \stopxcell
             \startxcell               head c \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
     \stopxtablehead
     \startxtablebody
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix][ny=2] cell a 1 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 1 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 1 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell               cell b 2 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 2 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix]       cell a 3 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 3 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell c 3 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell[suffix]       cell a 4 \stopxcell
             \startxcell               cell b 4 \stopxcell
