there is no perfect solution in ConTeXt because the \quotation and the \start/stopquotation commands are defined with the same definition and it is not possible to disable the quote marks for the one and enable it for the other, but you can use ConTeXt's mechanism for nested quotations and redefine the other one.
\setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [1] [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}, right={\symbol[rightquotation]}]
\setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [2] [left={\symbol[leftquote]}, right={\symbol[rightquote]}]
\setupdelimitedtext [quote] [location=margin, % paragraph left=, right=, before={\blank[big]}, after={\blank[big]}]
Thanks, Wolfgang. This is very helpful, though I must say that, in this case, ConTeXt is being a bit obtuse. Maybe an official, dedicated \start-stopblockquote command, independent of the other two and with no quotation marks by default, is in order here (please, Hans?).
