Unfortunately this currently doesn't seem to be possible. There was a 
discussion with the subject "Mouse Click Context Menu Instead of Mouse Down" 
on the ion-general mailing list and Tuomo had to say this:

If this is important for you please file a feature request, maybe someone will 
implement it. 

You are aware though that there are easy key bindings for tagging and 
attaching a tagged client, right? You could also add a binding
for
  mod_menu.menu(_, _sub, 'ctxmenu') 
to the WFrame section of cfg_notioncore.lua. You could bind this to a key
or use the mclick function to bind it to a mouse button. However the menu then 
appears in the bottom left corner of the frame by default, so this is not 
exactly what you want. But maybe one of these solutions is acceptable for you?  
If not feel free to file the feature request. :)

Cheers,
Philipp
