there is actually a more modern trick:

\starttext

\startluacode
characters.mathpairs[0x3A] = { [0x3D] = 0x2254 }
characters.mathpairs[0x3E] = { [0x3D] = 0x2265 }
characters.mathpairs[0x3C] = { [0x3D] = 0x2264 }
characters.mathpairs[0x3D] = { [0x3A] = 0x2255 }
\stopluacode

\startTEXpage
$a := b <= =< c =: d >= e$
\stopTEXpage

\stoptext

i uploaded a beta with these predefined (in char-def.lua) but we can add 
more (if someone provides me the list)

negations and a few more already were present
