The only way I found to achieve this is by flushing the notes at the end 
of each footnote
entry which can be done with the next key. The positioning of each 
margin text is tricky
because \placenotes adds skips at the begin of the block (which can be 
reduced with
\placelocalnotes) but a inline version of the command (e.g. 
\placeinlinenotes) which
flushes the notes without vertical skips and a rule at the begin would help.

\define\PlaceFootnote
   {\inrightmargin{\vtop{\placelocalnotes[footnote][before=,after=]}}}

\setupnote
   [footnote]
   [location=text,
    bodyfont=,
    next=\PlaceFootnote]

\setupnotation
   [footnote]
   [alternative=serried]

\setuplayout
   [width=12cm,
    rightmargindistance=0.5cm,
    rightmargin=5cm]

\starttext
\dorecurse{6}{\input ward\expanded{\footnote{This is a footnote 
\recurselevel}} }
\stoptext
