I know I could do it manually, but that makes the source ugly, so is
there a way to redefine paragraph breaks so that instead of actual
breaks in the output they are kept as running text separate by a
paragraph symbol, e.g.:
This is paragraph 1.
This is paragraph 2.
Becomes in the typeset document:
This is paragraph 1. ¶ This is paragraph 2.
?

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

Not plain, built-in, but it's not the thing. The thing's \let.
\starttext
\let\oldp=\par
\def\par{\P}
In case you
can't tell,
this is a test.
\let\par=\oldp
\stoptext

don't touch that one if you don't want to loose functionality (some day
it will be more heavily protected)
\EveryPar is a user hook
but even then, it comes to late for this purpose as the new paragraoh
has already been started
