I have the following, in my PhD thesis

\setupindex[pagestyle=normal]
\setupregister[index][def][pagestyle=bold]
\def\indexdefinition#1{\index[def::]{#1}}
\def\defterm#1{\leavevmode{\indexdefinition{#1}\it#1}}
\def\deftermx#1#2{\leavevmode{\processcommalist[#2]\indexdefinition\it#1}}
\def\useterm#1{\leavevmode{\index{#1}#1}}
\def\usetermx#1#2{\leavevmode{\processcommalist[#2]\index#1}}


the 'def' is an index 'class', which can be formatted
differently from the others. I use it to makr the definition
of a term (the other commands are just shorthands :)). You
can set up as many classes as you want and format each of
them as you wish. Much better than the LaTeX way :) More
details in the manual.
