I don't know exactly how it's supposed to look like, especially
kerning, vertical spacing, etc. Just making sure you know about
\applytocharacters:
\starttext
\applytocharacters\rotate{Foo Bar}
\stoptext
as well as \handletokens Foo Bar\with\rotate
Maybe that's already sufficient for your use case.
