Basic Footnotes
For basic footnotes, simply use \footnote[reference]{footnote text}. The reference is optional, and can be used to refer to the same footnote again with \note[reference]. For example:
This\footnote[footA](Or that, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote\footnote{Actually, two footnotes; this one and footnote \note[footA].}.
Thanks to Oblomov, it's also possible to use footnotes in footnotes, as in this example.
This\footnote(Or that\footnote{Or possibly even the other.}, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote.
Footnote Numbering
You can setup the exact behaviour of footnotes as usual with \setupfootnotes. For example, to use footnotes with standard footnote symbols (which ConTeXt has defined as the conversion "set 2"), with the footnote counter resetting on each page, one would use the following:
\setupfootnotes[way=bypage, conversion=set 2]
This produces the the following footnotes, using the text of the previous example.
Alternate Footnote Locations
It is possible to place footnotes as endnotes or as marginals ((someone please add an example!)).
Footnotes in Floats
If you need footnotes in floats (figures, tables) you need to define local footnotes. ((example?))
