This was true until about the beginning of 2005. I do not know when
Till Tantau first tried to port pgf to context. A while back I told
him that this is no longer true for ConTeXt .... but there has not
been a new release of the manual for a while.
I also found the following to be funny:

2.2.3 Setting up the Environment in ConTEXt
Karl’s uncle Hans uses ConTEXt. Like Gerda, Hans can also use TikZ.

If you decide to try it, check out the code from CVS rather than from
CTAN. There have been some changes since version 1.10, many of them
improve the compatibility with ConTeXt (colors, etc.)
