Dear Bruce,
Yes, I need also margintext.
What do you want to appear in the margin: the theorem number or the section number of the current section?

In other words, what should replace the "hard coded" 2.1.1 that you have in your example?

The spurious parentheses seem to be a side-effect of having unmatched curly brackets in the bit that I have quoted.
The following eliminates them:
\definemargindata  [MyInMargin][inright] \definemarginframed[MyInMargin][topframe=on,bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1pt,width=1cm]
\margintext{\blackrule[color=black, height=0.25ex, width=1cm]\\}\blackrule[color=black, height=0.25ex, width=7cm] \setupenumerations  [ before={\blank[big]},
  after={\blank[big]},
  location=serried,
  width=broad,
  distance=0.5em,
  headstyle=bold,
  titlestyle=normal,
  way=bytext,
  conversion=numbers]
\defineenumeration
[theorem]
[    text=Theorem,
    title=yes,
    style=italic,
     list=all,
 listtext={Theorem }]
\starttext
\margintext{2.1.1}{\starttheorem The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. Ach is das schön, dass du da bist \stoptheorem } \stoptext
I see also in this thread that you have sad "yes" to Aditya's suggestion. But that doesn't have the margintext. Do you still want/need margintext?
