There's a section in the beginner's manual on paragraph formatting.
There may be a cleaner way to do it, but here's an example based on
the ones in the beginner's manual:

  \newcount\paragraphno
  \paragraphno=1
  \defineparagraphs	[guypara][n=2,before={\blank},after={\blank}]
  \setupparagraphs	[guypara][1][width=.1\textwidth,style=bold]
  \def\GuyPar#1{\startguypara
          \the\paragraphno
          \global\advance\paragraphno by 1
          \guypara#1\stopguypara}

  \starttext
  \GuyPar{This is the first paragraph.}
  \GuyPar{This is the second paragraph.}
  \GuyPar{Three!!!  Three paragraphs!!!  Ah -- ah -- ah -- ahh!!!.}
  \stoptext
