Hi,
since it has to do with paragraph building and not with certain breaks
it is controlled by a demerits rather than a penalty, and there is, as
far as I know, no value that explicitly prohibits a hyphen at the last
line specifically (you can set the hyphenpenalty to 10000 to avoid
hyphenations everywhere). In the total demerits calculation penalties
are more or less squared, so setting
\finalhyphendemerits
to a ridiculously high value might do, for most paragraphs.

You can disable hyphenation with \setupalign[nothyphenated] but this
setting alone isn't enough because now text tends to stick into the
right margin. To get better result you have to combine it with other
option like "tolerant" or "verytolerant".
The example below show also how you can use font enpansion in
combination with a lesser tolerance value to align the text on both
margins with result in smaller interword spacer than a larger tolerance
value. You can combine this with font protrusion to move punctuation
marks slightly into the margin area to have a better alignment of the
text alone.
%%%% begin example
\setupwhitespace[big]
\showframe[text][text]
\definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
\starttext
\type{alignment: default}
\samplefile{lorem}
\page
\type{alignment: nothyphenated}
\start \setupalign[nothyphenated]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop
\page
\type{alignment: nothyphenated,flushleft}
\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,flushleft]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop
\page
\type{alignment: nothyphenated,verytolerant}
\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,verytolerant]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop
\page
\type{alignment: nothyphenated,tolerant,hz}
\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,tolerant,hz]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop
\page
\type{alignment: nothyphenated,verytolerant,hanging}
\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,verytolerant,hanging]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop
\page
\type{alignment: nothyphenated,tolerant,hz,hanging}
\start \setupalign[nothyphenated,tolerant,hz,hanging]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stop
\stoptext
%%%% end example
