Probably yes, because registers basically treat every line as a 
paragraph. I am not the most knowledgeable person about registers,
so I am re-forwarding this to the mailing list. For the benefit of
the list, a short summary of the question is this:

    \setupinterlinespace[stretch=1.5]
    \definewhitespacemethod [bigger] {\ctxparskip10pt plus3pt minus3pt}
    \setupwhitespace[bigger]

creates lots of flexibility in the interline and interparagraph
space, so you can do something like this:

   \definestartstop[kleiner]
   [before={\startcolumns[n=2]
            \setupinterlinespace[stretch=1.5]
            \setupwhitespace [bigger]},
    after={\stopcolumns }]

and that works like a charm in equalizing out the bottom lines
of the columns, for the running text. But with such a definition
somewhere, this still does not work:

    \starttext
    \startkleiner
    \placeregister[index]
    \stopkleiner
    \stoptext

Does anybody know and approach to do that?

Best, Taco
