Using btex..etex is becoming complex with all the interactions, so
instead I wikified an example of converting from btex..etex to
\sometxt -- preaching what I am trying to practice.

Instead I'll use the MPenvironment just for font and size switching
(e.g. to use a different size for figures than for main text).

I hadn't thought of that.  Do you mean something like (which I
couldn't get to compile):

\starttext

\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
\def\hello{hhh}  % perhaps in an environment file
label(\sometxt{\hello}, origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\reuseMPgraphic{fig}

\stoptext
