no, although there is a not yet interfaced command \interactionmenu[...] 
that can be used to call up a menu

\startcommands             dutch                     english
                            german                    czech
                            italian                   romanian

            interactiemenu: interactiemenu            interactionmenu
                            interaktionsmenue         interaktivnimenu
                            menuinterattivo           meniuinteractiune

\stopcommands

now, at your own risk, you can try:

\unprotect

\def\defineinteractionmenuclass
   {\dodoubleargument\dodefineinteractionmenuclass}

\def\dodefineinteractionmenuclass[#1][#2]% tag hori|veri
   {\doifelse{#2}\v!vertikaal
      {\setvalue{\??am\??am\c!menu#1}%
         {\vertikaalinteractiemenu
            {#1}{\getvalue{\??am#1\c!breedte}}\c!voor\c!na}}
      {\setvalue{\??am\??am\c!menu#1}%
         {\horizontaalinteractiemenu
            {#1}{\getvalue{\??am#1\c!hoogte}}\c!links\c!rechts}}}

\protect

with

\setupinteraction[menu=on,state=start]

\defineinteractionmenuclass[test]   [vertical]
\defineinteractionmenuclass[another][horizontal]

\defineinteractionmenu[test]   [left][state=start,width=4cm]
\defineinteractionmenu[another][top] [state=start,height=1cm]

\startinteractionmenu[test]
   \but [firstpage] test-a \\
   \but [nextpage]  test-b \\
\stopinteractionmenu

\startinteractionmenu[another]
   \but [firstpage] test-a \\
   \but [nextpage]  test-b \\
\stopinteractionmenu

\setupheadertexts[{\interactiemenu[another]}]

\starttext

test \interactionmenu[test] \page
test \interactionmenu[test] \page

\stoptext
