For the Glossary in my German ConTeXt book, I used this:

\definedescription[Lemma][
   headstyle=bold, style=normal,
   align={flushleft,hanging,verytolerant},
   alternative=serried,
   distance=0.5em,
   width=fit, indent=3em,
   before=, after=,]

\defineprocessor[glossar][color=ColGlossar]

\define[2]\startlemma{\startLemma{#1}\index[glossar->]{#1}\textreference[lemma:#1]{#1}\doifsomething{#2}{ 
{\it〈{\en #2}〉}~}}

\define\stoplemma{\stopLemma}

\define[1]\seelemma{→\about[lemma:#1]}

\define[1]\ctx{{\tfx\tt❲\,\color[ColLeitf]{#1}\,❳} \autoinsertnextspace}


And then:

\startlemma{Example}{English translation} \ctx{\CONTEXT\ term} 
Description \seelemma{Something}\stoplemma

The lemmas are sorted manually and referenced in the normal keyword 
index, but colored.
