For what it is worth, here is how I address this. This lets me place
epigraphs on the facing verso of a chapter, or under the section title,
and set lettrines and first line treatment for chapters. I set page
numbers in a separate overlay to better control the positioning. Perhaps
a bit overthought, but it works for me ...
\setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[section]}]
[{\it\getmarking[chapter]}][]
\startsetups section:epigraph
\doifelsebuffer{SectionEpigraph}
{\getbuffer [SectionEpigraph]
\resetbuffer[SectionEpigraph]}
{\donothing}
\stopsetups
\startsetups chapter:epigraph
\setupheadertexts [][][][]
\doifelsebuffer{ChapterEpigraph}
{\doifoddpageelse
{\page[left]}
{\donothing}
\centerbox{\getbuffer[ChapterEpigraph]}
\resetbuffer[ChapterEpigraph]
}
{\donothing}
\page[right]
\setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[section]}]
[{\it\getmarking[chapter]}][]
\stopsetups
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
\setuphead [chapter][
style=\tfc\HeadFont,
page=yes,
separator=,
numbercolor=darkgray,
alternative=inmargin,
before=\directsetup{chapter:epigraph},
after={\resetshownsynonyms[dictionary]
\setupsynonyms[dictionary][alternative=first]
\doifsomething{\structureuservariable{setFirst}}
{\setfirstline[\structureuservariable{setFirst}]}
\doif{\structureuservariable{Lettrine}}
{yes}{\setinitial}},
]
\setuphead [section][
style=\tfb\HeadFont,
insidesection=\setups{section:epigraph},
before={\blank[big]},
sectionseparatorset=reddot,
numbercolor=darkgray,
alternative=inmargin,
]
\setuphead [subsection]
[
style=\tfa\HeadFont,
number=no,
distance=0pt,
insidesection=\setups{section:epigraph},
before={\blank[big]},
alternative=normal,
after={\blank[halfline]},
numbercolor=,
sectionseparatorset=,
]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\definefirstline [5W][alternative=word, n=5,style=smallcaps]% and so
on as you like
\definefirstline [1L][alternative=line, style=smallcaps]
...
\starttext
...
\startbuffer[ChapterEpigraph]
\startEpigraph% brings in its own formatting
The stuff of the epigraph
\stopEpigraph
\stopbuffer
\startchapter[reference={cha:blah},
list={blah}, % toc
marking={blah}, % page heading
bookmark={blah}, % pdf bookmark
title={blah}] % chapter head
[Lettrine=yes,setFirst=5W]
...
\stopchapter
\startchapter[reference={cha:more},
title={more stuff}]
[lettrine=yes]
...
\stopchapter
