Ok, it it’s about such small snippets, consider
\doifmode{mode1,mode2}{Conditional text}.
I don’t think you would get shorter markup with nesting.
More possibilities see https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes

How about:
Here is some text that
\startmodeset
[variantone] {contains}
[varianttwo] {includes}
[variantthree] {is comprised of}
[default] {doesn’t contain}
\stopmodeset
some variants.

Well, it looks like you’ll need a lot of markup anyway.
