The trouble is that most fonts do not contain these accents.
amsmath.sty gets over this definition by faking these symbols. It is
easy to port these definitions to context.
amsmath.sty definition
\newcommand{\dddot}[1]{%
{\mathop{#1}\limits^{\vbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\ex@
\hbox{\normalfont ...}\vss}}}}
\newcommand{\ddddot}[1]{%
{\mathop{#1}\limits^{\vbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\ex@
\hbox{\normalfont....}\vss}}}}
Converting to context
%--------------------%<------------------------------------
\unprotect
% The true copy of amsmath definitions
\def\amsdddot {\limits^{\vbox to -1.4ex{\kern-2ex\hbox{\the\textfont\z@
...}\vss}}}
\def\amsddddot{\limits^{\vbox to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% I do not understand why you need to give negative height
% This looks better.
\def\amsdddot {\limits^{\vbox{\kern-2ex\hbox{\the\textfont\z@ ...}\vss}}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\def\dddot #1{{\mathop{#1}\amsdddot }}
\def\ddddot#1{{\mathop{#1}\amsddddot}}
\protect
\starttext
$\dddot{a}_{\dddot{b}}$
$\ddddot{a}_{\ddddot{b}}$
\stoptext
