From TeX.SE, the following solution works; however, it doesn't feel like the "ConTeXt way":

% SOT
\setuplocalboxes[leftmargin][
     style=\bfd,
     color=darkred,
     distance=0pt,
]

\unprotect
\define\quoteinitial{%
     \futureexpandisap“\quoteinitial_true\quoteinitial_false%
}

\define\quoteinitial_true{%
     \localmargintext[leftmargin]{“}%
     \expandafter\placeinitial%
     \gobbleoneargument%
}

\let\quoteinitial_false\placeinitial
\protect

\starttext
     \quoteinitial “We held ConTeXt in high esteem.” \samplefile{bryson}

     \quoteinitial We held ConTeXt in high esteem.   \samplefile{bryson}
\stoptext
%EOT

Any suggestions for how to improve it?
