Not sure what exactly you want, but how about:
\definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>}\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}]
% This is the wrong way to define such a command as '>' is not part of the
style. I have left this definition just for comparison with the soln below.
\definedescription[category][
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,
width=broad,
]
\definedescription[desc][
width=fit,
distance={\widthofstring{~}},
headcommand={\groupedcommand{>\,}{:}},
headstyle=\tt,
before={\startpacked},
after={\stoppacked},
alternative=hanging,
]
\starttext
This is a \hl{highlight}.
Some listings
\startcategory{Itemize}
\startitemize[packed]
\item \hl{first}: one
\item \hl{second}: two
\stopitemize
\stopcategory
Now the same as desc:
\startcategory{Desc}
\startdesc{first} one \stopdesc
\startdesc{second} two \stopdesc
\stopcategory
\stoptext
