before and after go on the top and the bottom of the combination block, 
inbetween goes between the figure/table and the caption.

One possibility to simplify measurement is to abuse figurecollections 
(Please wikify).

\startbuffer[table:1]
\startTABLE
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
\stopTABLE
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[table:2]
\startTABLE
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
   \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
\stopTABLE

% Ideally, we should be able to place the figure definitions inside the 
% \startexternalfigurecollection, but that macro starts a group, so the 
% figure definitions inside are lost.

\useexternalfigure[one][table:1][method=buffer]
\useexternalfigure[two][table:2][method=buffer]

\startexternalfigurecollection[tables]
   \useexternalfigure[dummy][one]
   \useexternalfigure[dummy][two]
\stopexternalfigurecollection

\definemeasure
  [sidebyside]
   [\the\dimexpr\hsize/2
   - \externalfigurecollectionmaxwidth{tables}/2
   - \externalfigurecollectionminwidth{tables}/2]

\definecombination[sidebyside]
                   [distance=\measure{sidebyside},
                    location=middle]

\starttext
\showframe
\placetable
     [here,nonumber]{Side by side tables}
     \startcombination[sidebyside][2*1]
       {\externalfigure[one]}{(a)}
       {\externalfigure[two]}{(b)}
     \stopcombination

\stoptext

@Hans: Can we also have totalheight and totalwidth as parameters of figure 
combinations (is relatively easy to implement)?
