Use recursion!
\definestartstop
[FancyFirstLetter]
[style={\switchtobodyfont[big]\bf},
color=red]
\def\FancyUppercase#1%
{\dostartFancyUppercase#1\dostopFancyUppercase}
\def\dostartFancyUppercase#1#2\dostopFancyUppercase
{\FancyFirstLetter{#1}#2}
\def\Acronym#1%
{\dostartAcronym#1 \dostopAcronym}
\def\dostartAcronym#1 #2\dostopAcronym
{\doifsomething{#1}
{\FancyUppercase{#1} %space
\dostartAcronym#2 \dostopAcronym}}
\starttext
\loggingall
\Acronym{Must Should Could Not~now}
\stoptext
