self-answering (for the record)
rightmargin / leftmargin has to be used in combination with an additional
position keyword (low, middle, key), otherwise the caption is missing.
I think a default position (low) would be nice in this case.

this works:
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
\showframe
\setupcaption [figure][]
\placefloat[][]{default}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}
\setupcaption [figure][location={rightmargin,low}]
\placefloat[][]{right}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}
