You can adapt this:

\defineenumeration
[guess]
[text=Conjecture,
location=left,
letter=it]
\starttext
This is the first one:
\guess All conjectures are interesting.

This is the second one:
\startguess Except this one.\stopguess
\stoptext

I have taken this from 'LaTeX in proper ConTeXt' by Berend de Boer, a 
document you will probably be interested in. It is available here:
