I has the same question a few years ago but I never used it
because it has a few limitations like missing style/color support.

\setuplayouttext[header][text][lefttext=L,middletext=M,righttext=R]

%\setupheadertexts[M]
%\setupheadertexts[L][R]

\setupheader
   [color=red,style=bold]

\setuppagenumbering
   [alternative=doublesided]

\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{\page[dummy]}
\stoptext
