Cleaninng up my mailbox (so I'm not sure if you still need the answer) ...
Are you using pdfTeX or LuaTeX/XeTeX? In pdfTeX you need to switch the
font (or at least change the encoding to texnansi)
\usetypescript[modern][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[modern,10pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\quotesingle} % or \char129
\stoptext
In new engines you can switch off tlig. If you need that, please ask
(but again - you need to be aware that you either need to create a new
font instance or switch off conversion into apostrophe globally).
