Have you looked at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/HTML_and_ConTeXt which
explains how Saji converted a wiki to (informl) to pdf using ConTeXt. I do not
know about Drupal, but similar thing should work.

There is also Pandoc which can convert Markdown syntax to ConTeXt. It can also
convert html to markdown, so in principle you can use it as html to context
converter. (Of course, with this approach you are limited to only things which
markdown can capture).
