That is just from knowing how the footnotes work. In ConTeXt footnotes 
consist of two this, a number and the note definition. The note definition 
is defined as a description, location=normal is an option for 
descriptions.

numbercommand can be any predefined (or one that you define on your 
own) ConTeXt macro. By default, it is \inleft, and hence you see the 
footnotes in the margin. I do not know what split does, but just by seeing 
that by default it is defined to be tolerant, the other options should be
verystrict, strict, tolerant, verytolerant, and they should control how 
the splitting of columns work.

This is the good thing about ConTeXt; key value options are extremently 
consistent, once you know what values a particular key takes for one 
environment, you can guess what it will do for others (well, I could be 
wrong in case of footnotes, but ...)

\setupfootnotedefinition[location=serried, distance=0.5em]
