\framed{text}

You could try
style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\hsize.8\hsize\relax\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},
or
style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\hsize150pt\relax\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},
The better way is to define you own list alternative.
\define[3]\ChapterList
{\hbox
{\hbox to .5em{#1}\hskip.5em
\vtop{\hsize150pt\relax#2}%
\hfil#3}}
\setuplist[chapter][alternative=command,command=\ChapterList]
