How about:

\unprotect

\def\dozerostagepreloadfonts
   {\definedfont[\s!file:lmmono10-regular sa 1]}

\def\zerostagepreloadfonts
   {\writestatus\m!fonts{beware: no fonts are loaded yet so content will 
not show up}%
    \glet\zerostagepreloadfonts\dozerostagepreloadfonts
    \zerostagepreloadfonts}

\everyhbox{\zerostagepreloadfonts}
\everyvbox{\zerostagepreloadfonts}

\def\resetpreloadfonts
   {\global\let\zerostagepreloadfonts  \relax
    \global\let\firststagepreloadfonts \relax
    \global\let\secondstagepreloadfonts\relax
    \global\let\thirdstagepreloadfonts \relax
    \global\let\fourthstagepreloadfonts\relax
    \global\everyhbox\emptytoks
    \global\everyvbox\emptytoks
    \resetnullfont}

\protect

\setbox0\hbox{xxx}


\starttext

     test \box0

\stoptext
