This is indeed possible, using \select; see
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060501.171706.24b88466.en.html .
Example usage:
\defineselector[caption][max=2,n=2]
\starttext
\setupselector[caption][n=1]
\completelistoffigures
\setupselector[caption][n=2]
\placefigure[][]
{\select{caption}
{A short caption}
{A rather longer caption which will appear below the figure itself}}
{This is the content of the actual figure}
\stoptext
