using no macros ... wikifyable ...

\startsetups titlepage
     \startstandardmakeup
         \definedfont[SerifBold at 40pt]
         \setupinterlinespace
         \getvariable{document}{title}
         \vfill
         \definedfont[SerifBold at 20pt]
         \setupinterlinespace
         \getvariable{document}{author}
     \stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups

\setvariables
     [document]
     [title=Whatever,
      author=Not Me]

\setvariables
     [whatever]
     [set={\setup[whateverpage]}]

\startsetups whateverpage
     \startstandardmakeup
         \definedfont[SerifBold at 40pt]
         \setupinterlinespace
         \getvariable{whatever}{title}
         \vfill
     \stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups

\starttext
     \setups[titlepage]
     \setvariables[whatever][title=One]
     \setvariables[whatever][title=Two]
\stoptext

in the whatever case each setvariables will trigger a setup, so one has 
a sort of macro with key/value support
