Org-mode already can save context info as properties. See the variable
org-archive-save-context-info.

In your view, what aspects of GTD are not yet possible within org-mode?
It seems to me that org-mode offers the ability to implement everything
in GTD (contexts, natural project planning, calendar, multiple views of
the same data, etc). How exactly one implements GTD, of course, is up to
the user.
As a place to start customizing, I would recommend creating custom
agenda commands. This tutorial offers some custom commands for use with
GTD:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.php
And, of course, there is Charles Cave's excellent tutorial on
implementing GTD in org-mode:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php
Hope this helps,
Matt
