You get the error message:
I've run across a '}' that doesn't seem to match anything. For example,
'\def\a#1{...}' and '\a}' would produce this error. The '\par' that I've just
inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the
problem.
Maybe some expansion thing. Don't know, but consider this :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A6][A6] 
\setupbodyfont[8pt] 
\define[2]\MyChapterCommand{#1 #2} % does work
%\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{#1 #2} % does not work
\setuphead[chapter][ 
       command=\MyChapterCommand, 
       ] 
\starttext 
\startchapter{test} 
\input tufte 
\stopchapter 
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, this here should get you started:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\showframe
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setupbodyfont[8pt]
\define[2]\MyChapterCommand%
 {\vbox to 15mm\bgroup
   \vss
   {#1\blank #2}
   \egroup}
\define[1]\MyTitleCommand%
 {\vbox to 15mm\bgroup
   \vss
   {#1}
   \egroup}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapterCommand]
\setuphead[title][command=\MyTitleCommand]
\starttext
\chapter{test} \input tufte
\title{test} \input tufte
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I bet there are easier solutions, maybe use framed instead of vbox.

Maybe define your own chapter command and use a vbox.
Look at this example from the wiki:
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setupbodyfont[8pt]
\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2%
 {\vbox to 4cm\bgroup
    {#1\hskip.75em #2}
    \vss
    \egroup}
\setuphead[chapter][header=nomarking, command=\MyChapterCommand]
\starttext \chapter{test} \input tufte \stoptext
That's not exactly what you want, but you can adapt it.

the same vertical distance from the top?
I created a chapter title style with a large number telling the chapter number,
and below it the title of the chapter.
It looks like this:
---------------------
       1               <--really big chapter number
=========== <-- there is a border created by a background image between
these
   How to keep  <--chapter title
   fish
This is the article <-- the article begins about how to keep fish
---------------------
\definefontsize[a]%
\definefontsize[b]%
\definefontsize[c]%
\definefontsize[l]%
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default]%
   [%
       a=1.200,
       b=1.440,
       c=1.728,
       l=8.916
   ]%
%
\setuplabeltext[chapter=\strut]
\setuphead[chapter][style=\ssc,placehead=yes,expansion=yes,page=yes,
numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[1cm]},
alternative=middle,
numberstyle=ssl,
numbercolor=green,
strut=yes]
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter{Test}
       \input knuth
\chapter{Test}
       \input knuth
\stoptext
The problem I'm facing, is anytime a chapter title is called, such as "Content"
in complete content, or something in the appendix, such as one of the
indexes, no number is printed above, so the vertical distance from the top of
the page to the top of the chapter title changes. I need these to be
consistent, as there is a background image, with vertical lines.
Basically, if I call \chapter{}, it appears perfectly aligned vertically on the
page, with no other settings. But when calling \completecontent or a similar
title that won't get a number, because the number isn't placed, it is vertically
higher on the page, but I need it to be printed the same height, as it it had an
invisible number.
I've tried adding strut (the code has it in two places), but don't know if I've
used it appropriately, and it didn't solve the problem.
