I do not know an inbuilt way of doing this. You can probably use an ugly 
hacks like this:

\usemodule[bib]

\unprotect
\def\authorlastname#1#2#3#4#5%
   {%\bibdoif{#1}{#1\bibalternative\c!firstnamesep}%
    \bibdoif{#2}{#2\bibalternative\c!vonsep}%
    #3%
    \bibdoif{#5}{\bibalternative\c!surnamesep#5\unskip}%
    % Set a macro for full name
    \def\fullauthorname{\invertedauthor{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}}}
\protect

\setuppublicationlayout[article]%
  {\insertartauthors {} {\space\insertpubyear{}{}{}\quad\fullauthorname,} 
{}%
  % The above statement uses the full name set in authorlastname
   \insertarttitle   {\space\quotation\bgroup}
                                  {,\egroup} {}%
   \insertjournal    {\space\bgroup \it}
                         {\unskip\/\egroup} {}%
   \insertvolume     {,\space vol.~}
         {\insertissue {,\space no.~} {} {}} {}%
   \insertpages      {,\space pp.\space}       {} {}%
   \insertpubyear    {,\space\insertmonth{}{\space}{}}
                                          {} {}%
   \insertnote       {.\space}            {.} {.}}


\setuppublicationlist
    [artauthor=\authorlastname]

\startpublication[k=smith:2000,t=article,
a={{Smith}},y=2000,
n=1,s=Smt00]
\artauthor[]{John}[J.]{}{Smith}
\pubyear{2000}
\arttitle{The theory of everything}
\journal{A fancy journal}
\volume{22}
\pages{379-423}
\month{7}
\stoppublication

\starttext

See~\cite[smith:2000]

\placepublications

\stoptext

With TeX, simple things are not always simple.
