Indeed, that seems to do the trick, Wolfgang.

I wonder whether there is a bug somewhere in notes, because you may have
r2l notations, but the notes paragraph is built l2r:

\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext \showframe

\definenote[afootnote][rule={on,right}, paragraph=yes]
\definenotation[afootnote][align=r2l]

\startalignment[r2l]
Testing.\afootnote{This is footnote one.}
Testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote two.}
Testing testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote three.}
\stopalignment

\stoptext
Can you test the following patch.

\unprotect

\def\strc_notes_flush_global
  {\begingroup
   \useinterlinespaceparameter\noteparameter
   \doifelse{\noteparameter\c!paragraph}\v!yes
     {%\vbox\starthboxestohbox
      \vbox\ifconditional\displaylefttoright \else dir TRT \fi\starthboxestohbox
        \iftrialtypesetting\unvcopy\else\unvbox\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber
      \stophboxestohbox}
     {\iftrialtypesetting\unvcopied\else\unvboxed\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber}%
   \endgroup}

\protect

%\setupalign[righttoleft]

\setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes,align=righttoleft]
\setupnotation[footnote][align=righttoleft]

\showframe

\starttext

First note.\footnote{This is the first footnote.}
Second note.\footnote{This is the second footnote.}

\stoptext
