If you didn't create the CGContext yourself (in which case I would expect it to
be a CGBitmapContext or something whose size is known to be constant anyway), I
can probably assume safely that you're using a context that you got from Cocoa.
Please notice that cocoa graphic context are not valid anymore as soon as you
return from the drawing function, or, as Apple example says
(http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/JAWTExample/Listings/NativeDrawnCanvas_m.html):
"DO NOT CACHE NSGraphicsContexts -- they may go away."

I can't find a similar statement in the documentation, only in the examples,
but anyway I would consider it a good reason for the safe way (context
recreation).
