\setupbodyfont[cmr, 10.5pt]
with
\setupbodyfont[cmr, 10pt] %or 11 pt or 12 pt
the file compiles cleanly, with Greek in the footnotes where it should appear. So, for the time being, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the catcode changes. If I'm not mistaken, this would have given weird characters, but the problem was that the font change was not done at all.
So: I had already mailed off-list to Alan that I thought the problem was with defining the new bodyfont. And I think this is right. In my definition for the Greek fonts, I have this line:
\definebodyfont[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.5pt,11pt,12pt,14pt,14.4p t,16pt,18pt,20pt,22pt][rm][Gf=greeoxon sa 1.08]
So I would assume the following:
1. When the body font of the document is 10, 11 or 12 pt, the footnote body font is in one of the predefined sizes, i.e. 8, 9, 10, whatever.
2. When the body font is a weird number like 10.5, ConTeXt (or is it eTeX itself?) recalculates the size for the footnote, which will be an even weirder number. Accordingly, the definitions in my file won't work anymore.
Thusly: I looked at the source to find out by which factor the font in the footnotes is scaled, but couldn't find out. So my questions: how is this font size calculated? Or is it possible to give a "blanket" declaration for font sizes in my file (there is something like <-> in LaTeX which means "all sizes," if memory serves right).
Thanks for the help!

I'll be too bust the next three weeks to look into this, but would love
to correct my quick and dirty hack. Can you give me a hint where I can
learn more about \scantoken and how I can implement it for my Greek
stuff?Ehehehe. The reason why I was so generic in my answer is precisely the same :) Something like \def\localgreek#1{\scantokens{\Gf\enablegreek#1}} could work.
more precisely:
\starttext
\def\rescan#1{\scantokens{#1}} [\rescan{oeps}]
\def\rescan#1{\scantokens{#1\ignorespaces}} [\rescan{oeps}]
\stoptext
and therefore:
\def\localgreek#1{\rescan{\Gf\enablegreek#1}}
