Thanks to Albrecht and Steffen for their quick and informative replies.

I guess \setupfootnotedefinition isn't what I am looking for. It seems 
to mainly be a way to customize the footnote *numbering*, right? What I 
wanted to try was to put footnotes in the margin. My text has a lot of 
footnotes, and a few of them are absurdly long (no, I didn't write the 
book); the conventional layout results at several points in truly 
abominable pages, so I thought I'd try something unconventional. Guess 
I'll have to do it some other way.
