This is a minor issue that can be easily fixed by a few lines of wrapper
code in m-pstricks.
pstricks relies on other parts of the tex ecosystem (a tex.pro file IIRC,
and some binaries) that are not shipped with ConTeXt standalone. It will
be great if MKIV supports pstricks out of the box. There are some very
nice pstricks packages that are hard (and time consuming) to replicate.
