Hi,
Since no one has offered a quick ConTeXt solution, I offer my usual -- a dumb Plain TeX solution:
\def\lomihi#1#2#3{${\scriptstyle{#2}}\limits_{#1}^{#3}$}
With the Computer Modern font, the top is a little further away from the middle than the bottom.  It can be adjusted with something like
\def\lomihi#1#2#3{${\scriptstyle{#2}}\limits_{#1}^{\lower0.23pt\hbox{$\scriptstyle{#3}$}}$}
but this would probably have to be adjusted for each font and size.
You can use \framed:
\defineframed[lohimi][align=flushleft,location=middle,frame=off,foregroundstyle=\tx]
\starttext
text \lohi{1}{2} text \lohimi{1\\2\\3} text
\stoptext
Neat trick.

Wolfgang,

The next beta has:

\starttext

\definelow       [MyLow]   [style=\txx]
\definehigh      [MyHigh]  [style=\txx]
\definelowhigh   [MyLoHi]  [style=\txx]
\definelowmidhigh[MyLoMiHi][style=\txx]

We have
     \ruledhbox{\low         {L}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLow         {L}} and
     \ruledhbox{\high        {H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyHigh        {H}} and
     \ruledhbox{\lohi     {L}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLoHi     {L}{H}} and
     \ruledhbox{\lomihi{L}{M}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLoMiHi{L}{M}{H}}.

\stoptext

So, we have low/high definable and clonable etc. Best check if the 
defaults are compatible. Valid parameters are 'up', 'down' and 
'distance' (dimensions) and of course 'style' and 'color'.
