The module uses a buffer to store the content of the letter environment.

What you can do is to create a new buffer for your environment and feed
the content of this buffer to the letter module.

\usemodule[letter]

\startsetups[letter:section:content]
\getbuffer[MyLetter]
\stopsetups

\setuplettersection[content][alternative=setups]

\def\StartLetter
  {\starttext
   \grabbufferdata[MyLetter][StartLetter][StopLetter]}

\def\StopLetter
  {\placeletter
   \stoptext}

\StartLetter
\input tufte
\StopLetter
