You can use the selector mechanism to set multiple texts for the title.

\defineselector[chaptertitle][max=2,n=2]

\setuplist[chapter][textcommand={\setupselector[chaptertitle][n=1]}]
\setuphead[chapter][textcommand={\setupselector[chaptertitle][n=1]}]

\starttext

\completecontent

\startchapter[reference=sec:short,title=\select{chaptertitle}{Long title for the chapter}{Short title}]

\input knuth

\about[sec:short]

\stopchapter

\stoptext
