\setupwhitespace should be enough but you could define a new environment
and hide the setup in the environment file.
\definestartstop
[mycolumns]
[before=\startcolumns,
after=\stopcolumns,
commands=\directsetup{mycolumn:setup}]
\startsetups mycolumn:setup
\setupwhitespace[...]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startmycolumns
text text text ...
\stopmycolumns
\stoptext
