At the moment the only reasonable answer is to edit tex.rb (every time
when you update ConTeXt) I'm affraid. Hans doesn't provide any command
line opton to change that, and apparently Jonathan didn't provide any
primitive to change that either. You could create or edit a
configuration file for dvipdfmx, but I'm affraid that passing an
option to xdvipdfmx (which is done by default in ConTeXt already)
would overwrite that setting anyway.

You have two options if you really really need that:
1.) bribe Hans for command-line option and volunteer to write man
pages for TeX Live (for ConTeXt they are still missing)
2.) bribe Jonathan to add a primitive
(but have a good excuse for it :)
