just lua code as placeholders for primitives will not show up in context 
mkiv

\startluacode
     local texsprint, ctxcatcodes = tex.sprint, tex.ctxcatcodes
     local gsub, format, byte = string.gsub, string.format, string.byte
     function commands.hexify(str)
         texsprint(ctxcatcodes,(gsub(str,".",function(s) return 
format("%0X",byte(s)) end)))
     end
\stopluacode

\long\def\hexify#1{\ctxlua{commands.hexify([[#1]])}}


\hexify{I wonder why this is needed.}


btw, if your old module produces pdf and uses other \pdf... primitives 
it's unlikely to work with mkiv anyway so you'd better check if it's 
still needed
