\definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [pagella] [default]

or see below

Not necessary because Pagella has no slanted alternative and \sl uses 
the italic alternative.

Use \switchtobodyfont.

\setupbodyfont[pagella,11pt]

\setupdelimitedtext
   [blockquote]
   [      style={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]},
         before={\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},
    spacebefore=line,
     spaceafter=line]

\starttext

\samplefile{weisman}

\startblockquote
\samplefile{weisman}
\stopblockquote

\stoptext
