quick and dirty command (instead one can use enumerations and do some 
complex setup)

\def\mnote{\dosingleempty\domnote}

\def\domnote[#1]#2%
   {\doglobal\increment\MyMarginalNote\plusone
    \inmargin
      {\MyMarginalNote:
       \doifsomething{#1}
         {\expanded{\textreference[#1]{\MyMarginalNote}}}%
       #2}}

\setupinmargin[stack=yes]

\starttext

bla bla bla \mnote{xxx} bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla \mnote[foo]{xxx} bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla \mnote{xxx} bla \mnote{xxx} bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

in \in {note} [foo]

\stoptext
