Not to be taken too seriously: you need to ask a more complex
(challenging) questions to get a better chance for an answer :) :) :)

It's best to study chapter 8 of cont-eni.pdf from pragma-ade.com to
get the idea of how to handle section modifications.

Here's one possible solution:

\def\mynumbercommand#1{§ #1 --}
\setuphead
	[section]
	[numbercommand=\mynumbercommand,
	 alternative=inmargin]

You may get a bit too big distance, but you can do one of the following tricks:
a) shorten the distance between margin and text
b) instead of just "--" you can use something like
    \hbox to 0.2mm{--\hss}
to fake negative spacing or add explicit negative kerning.
