Yes, as long as you do not want to refer to your sections :) The 
separator seems to be broken while refering anyways.

\setupsection[section-2][bodypartconversion=Romannumerals]

\setuphead
    [subsection]
    [numbercommand=\mysubsectionnumber]

\setuphead[section][separator=-]

\unprotect

\def\mysubsectionnumber#1%
   {\@@shortsectionnumber{section-2}-%
    \@@shortsectionnumber{section-3}.%
    \@@shortsectionnumber{section-4}}

\protect

\starttext

\chapter{Test}

\section[sec]{section test}

\subsection[sub]{test}

The separator is not honored in \in Section[sec] and in \in 
subsection[sub].

\stoptext
