You can also do this (thatfile.tex):

\starttext

\usepath[/foo/\getdocumentargument{machine}/whatever]

see what we have:

/foo/\getdocumentargument{machine}/whatever

\stoptext

run as:

   context thatfile.tex --machine=mymachine

or maybe

    context thatfile.tex --path=mymachine

is also sufficient

What do you mean with 'inverse search'?
