You can save the text in a buffer and replace the empty lines with the paragraph symbol.

\startluacode

userdata = userdata or { }

function userdata.specialparagraph()
	local text = buffers.getcontent("specialparagraph")
	text = string.gsub(text,"\n\n"," ¶ ")
	context(text)
end

\stopluacode

\def\startspecialparagraph
  {\dostartbuffer[specialparagraph][startspecialparagraph][stopspecialparagraph]}

\def\stopspecialparagraph
  {\ctxlua{userdata.specialparagraph()}}

\starttext

This is paragraph 1.

\startspecialparagraph
This is paragraph 2.

This is paragraph 3.
\stopspecialparagraph

This is paragraph 4.

\stoptext
