If you are willing to add some more markup, then you can do

\starttext
\startMarking
...
\startmarkedparagraph
...
\stopmarkedparagraph
\stopMarking
\stoptext

where \startMarking .. \stopMarking passes everything to lua 
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Programming_in_LuaTeX#Manipulating_verbatim_text_for_dummies) 
and you can then search for \startmarkedparagraph ... \stopmarkedparagraph 
in lua.

Or you could just redefine \starttext ... \stoptext to do the capturing. 
Something like:

\let\normalstarttext\starttext
\let\normalstoptext\stoptext

\def\starttext{....}

And in the lua end call \normalstarttext before starting typesetting and 
\normalstoptext after all typesetting is done.
