I cannot reproduce your problem. Take a look at this minimal example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Pick one of the following for different types of bounding boxes.
%\def\boxit#1{{#1}}
%\def\boxit#1{\hbox{#1}}
\def\boxit#1{\hbox{\strut #1}}
\showmakeup
\starttext
The absolute value of \boxit{a} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it a} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$a$} is positive.\crlf

The absolute value of \boxit{b} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it b} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$b$} is positive.\crlf

The absolute value of \boxit{A} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it A} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$A$} is positive.\crlf

The absolute value of \boxit{B} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it B} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$B$} is positive.\crlf
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The distance between the 'of' and the following letter is the same for
a math mode $a$ or a regular roman a. Only if we switch to italics is
a little extra space added. At least for my eye the letters are evenly
spaced.
