Thanks Patrick, the next specification is that I have a footer.

% output=pdftex
\definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber] % page on which chapters begin
\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [page=right,
   header=empty,
   footer=chapter,
%   before={\page\ifodd\realpageno\else\page[empty]\fi\page[right]},
]
\setupheadertexts
  [chapter]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\starttext
\chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\stoptext
