How? I can only see the option of creating a whole new 
set of footnotes, which is not at all what I want:
The following is the best i can do (to change the symbol 
each \MyNote you need a counter for it):
\define[1]\MyNote
 {\bgroup
  \savenumber [footnote]%
  \resetnumber[footnote]%
  \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 2]%
  \footnote{#1}%
  \restorenumber[footnote]%
  \egroup}
\starttext
This is just a test!\MyNote{With a footnote attached.}
This is just a test!\footnote{With a footnote attached.}
\stoptext

Thanks Wolfgang! This "starred" footnote is often used for 
acknowledgments etc. in articles, and it's always the 
first note, often appended to the title. So I come back to 
my first attempt: this does work, and unless one wants 
unusual symbols in the middle of ordinary footnotes, seems 
like the easiest solution:

\setupfootnotes[rule=off]

\starttext

This is just a test!{\setupfootnotes[numberconversion=set 
2]\footnote{With a footnote 
attached.}\resetnumber[footnote]}

This is just a test!\footnote{With a footnote attached.}

\stoptext
