A little clumsy, yes  :-)  First, you need to move the setq form inside
the hook function.  As it is, the setq form is being evaluated when
add-hook runs, providing its APPEND argument.

Second, you probably want to make reftex-cite-format's value local to
the Context mode buffers.  So:

(add-hook 'ConTeXt-mode-hook
	  (function
  	   (lambda ()
  	     (reftex-mode t)
  	     (auto-fill-mode 1)
  	     (LaTeX-math-mode 1)
	     (set (make-local-variable 'reftex-cite-format) "\\cite[%l]"))))
