I've recently been doing a little work on implementing a few LaTeX
kernel bits in ConTeXt, to simplify porting LaTeX code over. It's now
at a point where a few of the pieces might actually be useful, and
certainly to a point where some comments would be welcomed, so I've
put up a version of it online, in this directory:

What you'll find there is a fair number of module files, along with a
couple of "latextest" files that I've been using to try out the
results. latextext.tex is to be compiled in ConTeXt;
latextext-latex.tex is to be compiled in LaTeX for purposes of
comparison.
In any case, I think the implementation of \newcommand (and its
relatives) is about up to "beta" level. Ditto with LaTeX lengths.
And there's a working LaTeX-like counter implementation, based on
ConTeXt counters underneath. (It's not yet hooked into ConTeXt's
counters for footnotes and equations and pages, though; I'm not really
sure how to do that.)
Also, environments are working, in a sort of hackish way. The "array"
environment works, but again a bit hackish; I'm planning to clean that
up soon, so both of those will get major revisions.
I'd particularly appreciate any comments on the \newcommand and
counters implementations -- those are in the t-ltcmds and t-ltcnts
modules, though \newcommand also depends on t-lterrs and t-ltbase.
i just took a quick look at the code; if you run into tricky definitions, let me know, often there are either already low level macros that do the job, or i can add some stuff;
btw, i renamed the internal \end macro so that you can get away from stoptext refinitions (too messy)
