Hi Steffen,
I presnt you a few solution to your problem, I don't how it
should look to you.
<example>
\def\FakePageNumber{999}
\starttext
\placecontent
\section{Knuth}
\input knuth
% your solution
\expanded{\writetolist[section]{}{\hfill{\bf Nicely centers TOC entry}
\hfill\FakePageNumber}}
% solution 1
\writetolist[section]{}{\hfill {\bf Nicely centers TOC entry} \hfill
\llap{\FakePageNumber}}
% solution 2
\writetolist[section]{}{\hfilll bla \hfilll \llap{\FakePageNumber}}
% solution 3
\writebetweenlist[section]{\hfilll bla \hfilll \llap{\FakePageNumber}}
\section{Knuth}
\input knuth
\stoptext
</example>
Wolfgang
