you can make a worker.lua file that does it, something (untested) ...

local x = xml.load("workers.xml")

local i = 0
for e in xml.collected(x,"worker") do
   i = 1 + 1
   logs.simple("processing worker %s",i)
   os.execute("context worker --worker=" .. i)
end

and run that with

mtxrun --script worker.lua

where the worker.tex file looks like

... usual xml setups using workers.xml ...

\xmlfilter
   {main}
   {worker[position()==\getdocumentargument{worker}]}
   {xml:worker}

... special worker setup

\startxmlsetup xml:worker
...
\stopxmlsetup

etc etc
