Thanks Hans, that's really helpful!

This is not for the fainthearted so here we go
\startluacode
    function document.MyBoldPub(set,tag)
     -- local a = publications.getfield(set,tag,"author")
     -- inspect(a)
     -- local c = publications.getcasted(set,tag,"author")
     -- inspect(c)
        if c[1].surnames[1] == "Myname" then
            context.bold(function()
                context.btxflush('author')
            end )
        else
            context.btxflush('author')
        end
    end
\stopluacode
So if I wanted to bold one specific author in a reference of many, I can 
just loop over publications.getcasted(...), and print the appropriate 
names, initials, etc...
That said -- is there any way to call the appropriate authorconversion 
routine based on the \setupbtx settings? I found the 
publications.authorhashers method table, which seems to do most of this 
work, but I'm not sure how to pick the appropriate method and ensure 
that the correct separators are used.
Best use the setups provided than reinvent the logic.
\startluacode
     function document.CheckMeB(set,tag,aut)
         local c = publications.getcasted(set,tag,"author")
         if c[aut].surnames[1] == "Foo" then
             context("\\bf")
         end
     end
\stopluacode

\startsetups btx:list:author:normalshort
     \fastsetup{btx:list:author:concat}
     \begingroup

\ctxluacode{document.CheckMeB("\currentbtxdataset","\currentbtxtag",\number\currentbtxauthorindex)}
     \ifx\currentbtxinitials\empty \else
         \currentbtxinitials
         \btxparameter{separator:initials}
     \fi
     \ifx\currentbtxvons\empty \else
         \currentbtxvons
         \ifx\currentbtxsurnames\empty \else
             \btxparameter{separator:vons}
         \fi
     \fi
     \ifx\currentbtxsurnames\empty \else
         \currentbtxsurnames
         \ifx\currentbtxjuniors\empty \else
             \btxparameter{separator:juniors}
             \currentbtxjuniors
         \fi
     \fi
     \endgroup
     \fastsetup{btx:list:author:others}
\stopsetups

Or something similar (there are several wasy to do this).
