There is no such depedency .. actually, i found it rather impossible to
get an inkscape running on a headless linux box as there is some
depedency on X (last time I tried). In a similar fashion there is no
dependency on GhostScript or GraphicMagick or Zint.

So what does ConTeXt do when it typesets an \externalfigure? Does it
always use inkscape, or only sometimes?

no, png, jpg and pdf are supported directly (as is mp) but fo rother formats it will either try to find a replacement (there is a whole chain of lookups) or it will try to run one of the configured converters ... with

\enabletrackers[graphics.*]

you can see what happens
