This worked for my ConTeXt book, but fails in the problem sets because in ConTeXt \sub is a special item command, and I use itemize to number problems.

\appendtoks
\define[1]\sub{_{\text{\rm\tf#1}}}%
\to \everymathematics
or nicer:
\define[1]\MyMathSub{_{\text{\rm\tf#1}}}
\appendtoks
\let\sub\MyMathSub
\to \everymathematics
