Hi Robert,
from what I get from your message, there is only one blockquote in the
introduction.
How about adding the following code before \starttext?
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setupinterlinespace[small] % or whichever value you want
\stopsectionblockenvironment
I think it might work. I hope it helps,
Pablo
