Thanks Wolfgang! This "starred" footnote is often used for 
acknowledgments etc. in articles, and it's always the 
first note, often appended to the title. So I come back to 
my first attempt: this does work, and unless one wants 
unusual symbols in the middle of ordinary footnotes, seems 
like the easiest solution:

\setupfootnotes[rule=off]

\starttext

This is just a test!{\setupfootnotes[numberconversion=set 
2]\footnote{With a footnote 
attached.}\resetnumber[footnote]}

This is just a test!\footnote{With a footnote attached.}

\stoptext

Thomas
