If you like, add these three lines to the beginning of your .tex file to force TeXShop to use ConTeXt-CLD:

------------CUT HERE--------------
--[[
%!TEX TS-program = ConTeXt-CLD
]]--
------------CUT HERE--------------

You need all three lines.  The TeX comment has to be enclosed in a Lua comment.  The double hyphen after the "]]" is optional, I think, but I've seen it done that way.  (As a neophyte, I imitate.)

Thanks for the information: indeed the three lines above allow a CLD code in a TEX file to be typeset by ConTeXt, using the TeXShop engine created with your indications.
By the way, as you guessed the third line can be either
]]--
or
]]


@Hans, the problem with TeXShop is that it seems to refuse to process files whose names do not end in .tex, AFAIK.  (The typeset button is disabled.)  So a straightforward solution seems impossible.  You can always type "context file.cld" in a terminal window.
