Thanks very much for your suggestion, Taco!
I'm afraid it doesn't seem to work quite as expected, however :-

Ok. As for the strange things happening I was able to hunt them down
and prepare a simple example (still with the standard \startquotation):
---
\usemodule [bib]
\startpublication[k=akey,t=book,a={{Ody}},y=2006]
\author{Some}{B.}{Ody}
\pubyear{2006}
\stoppublication
\starttext
\input tufte
\footnote{\cite[akey]}
\startquotation
\input tufte
\footnote{\cite[akey]}
\stopquotation
\startquotation
\input tufte
\stopquotation
\footnote{\cite[akey]}
\input ward
\startquotation
\input tufte
\stopquotation
\footnote{\cite[akey]}
\input ward
\footnote{\cite[akey]}
\stoptext
---
Please note what happens to the footnotes depending on whether the
\cite command is before or after \stopquotation. Also when the narrow
text block extends over a page boundary the ordering of the footnotes
is mixed up ...

I tried that one but ran into several problems unfortunately. If
\cite inserts anything but a tiny string these words won't be wrapped
properly onto a new line. Also if I replace \cite[#1] by \footnote
{\cite[#1]} then there will be no footnote at all :-(
