An enumeration passes the duck test [1] for headings, so ...

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test

\defineenumeration
        [interlude]
         [before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interlude,
          text={Interlude }]


\defineenumeration
        [interludeA]
         [before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interludeA,
          text=, listtext=,
          title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=]

\starttext

\title{Contents}
\placelist[chapter,enumeration:interlude,enumeration:interludeA]

\chapter{Chap 1}

\interlude{Interlude 1}

\interludeA{{Interlude 1}}

\chapter{Chap 2}

\interlude{Interlude 2}

\interludeA{{Interlude 2}}

\stoptext
