these are font properties and using a consistent opentype math versus a 
bunch of loosely related type one fonts makes a difference

keep in mind that a too small distance can give inconsistent output

I've added:

\starttext

     $\displaystyle 1+{2g\over3}+{2\over3}$ \blank

     \setupmathfractions[topdistance=0pt]

     $\displaystyle 1+{2g\over3}+{2\over3}$ \blank

     \setupmathfractions[bottomdistance=0pt]

     $\displaystyle 1+{2g\over3}+{2\over3}$ \blank

     \setupmathfractions[topdistance=0pt,bottomdistance=0pt]

     $\displaystyle 1+{2g\over3}+{2\over3}$ \blank

\stoptext
