Thank you Hans.
That's pretty close. Is there a way to make the opening quotation mark 
smaller? Ideally, control the font and colour?
You can try this (patch):

\protected\def\typo_initial_handle_indeed#1#2%
   {\dontleavehmode
    \begingroup
    \cdef\currentinitial{#1}%
    \setupcurrentinitial[#2]%
    \resetfontfeature % might be needed in more places
    \ifempty{\initialparameter\c!style}%
      \definedfont[\initialparameter\c!font]%
    \else
      \useinitialstyleparameter\c!style
    \fi
    \ifempty{\initialparameter\c!color}%
      \c_attr_color       \attributeunsetvalue
      \c_attr_transparency\attributeunsetvalue
    \else
      \useinitialcolorparameter\c!color
    \fi
    ......


\starttext

\setupbodyfont[dejavu,9pt]

\defineinitial[two][m=1,method=auto]

\setupquotation[symcolor=red]

\setinitial[two]             Knuth   :\ignorespaces\input knuth \par
\setinitial[two] \quotation {Knuth}  :\ignorespaces\input knuth \par

\stoptext
...
Cheers!
