Hi Rik,
although they don’t seem to work as expected in ConTeXt, Unicode has
combining diacritical marks (as you might know), such as:
U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
Just in case it might help,

\buildtextaccent has to take some heuristics about horizontal and
vertical placement and is sometimes wrong about it. Since your case is
somewhat special, I would define a macro for the que symbol and adjust
the boxes manually - but then, you'll have to adapt it to italic and
upright (and bold) and different font sizes. Depends on how important
typographical beauty is to you - either a medium-quality solution for
all cases or better quality and manual fiddling... Something like
\definefontfamily [test] [serif] [ebgaramond]
\setupbodyfont [test,12pt]
\define\que%
{\bgroup
\setbox0\hbox{q}%
\setbox2\hbox to \wd0{\kern0.3em\switchtobodyfont[6pt] ʒ}%
\setbox4\hbox to \wd0{\kern0.1em\textacute}%
\hbox to \wd0 \bgroup
\hss\copy0\hss
\hskip-\wd0
\raise-0.45ex\copy2
\hskip-\wd0
\raise0.1ex\copy4
\egroup
\egroup\autoinsertnextspace}
\starttext
{\it Dicit\que mihi}
\stoptext
(btw, the example you sent uses Latin Modern).

Indeed, for the cases where there are combining accents that is a much
better solution. I should have chosen a better example, that is, one
that does not have a combining accent. Fortunately, there are very few
that fall into that category, and unfortunately, there are some.
Using this, together with Thomas’s code, I can get around these issues.
Thank you both.
(And yes, I had attached the wrong example, and then referred to the
font therein by the wrong name.)
