No, you clobbered your TeXLive distro with the current context beta.
> Can I put minimals in $TEXMFHOME which is ~/texmf on my system? That seems to be the place where I can keep stuff newer than TeXLive 2010 without conflict. Can minimals function standalone, though, or will I run into mismatches with TeXLive 2010 again?
I wouldn't try and mix minimals with TeXLive. Let TeXLive and minimals live side by side and they don't hurt each other. Make sure you set your PATH environment and put context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin before the TeXLive binary path. This way the executables from minimals get preference over those from TeXLive and you'd still be able to run latex without changing your environment.

You would want to point it at /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts// so that
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
finds the fonts that come with your TeXLive. Mine looks like this: OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts//:/Library/Fonts//:/System/Library/Fonts//
