Sure, when Khaled added alternates to xits we also added support for it 
to mkiv.

\setupbodyfont[xits]

\starttext

     \unexpanded\def\mathaltcal{\mathalternate{cal}\cal}

     $ABC$
     $\cal ABC$
     $\mathalternate{cal}\cal ABC$
     $\mathaltcal ABC$

\stoptext

As this can differ per font, we use symbolic names, and these are 
defined in the lfg files. This functionality is there already for some 
time but probably not wikified (there are examples in the test suite).
