Unfortunately I don't think that either option is viable: ConTeXt
doesn't come with an MLA style as far as I know, and you can't just
drop in a BST because ConTeXt doesn't use BibTeX to typeset
bibliographies (it just uses it as a preprocessor to convert .bib
files into its own \startpublication ... \stoppublication format).

The available styles are listed in bibmod-doc.pdf and you can also
find them in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib ; MLA isn't amongst
them.

Unfortunately you'll probably have to define the style yourself using
\setupcite and \setuppublicationlayout -- see bibmod-doc.pdf for
details and the existing bibliography styles for guidance.

Hope this helps,
