\starttext
\setupregister[index][expansion=yes]
\def\test{\bf test}
test\index{\test}
\stoptext
so,
in that case \index{\MyCategory+\MyTitle}
will be expanded
[expansion=yes] expands the index entry, but leaves macros defined as
\unexpanded\def\... untouched, so most of the context commands will be
passed as commands
[expansion=command] is another option, this gives a one level expansion
