Actually, we never had a greek hyphenation pattern file, only for 
ancient greek. Modern greek in mkii has not encoding defined (we're 
talking 2005 and before when Tomas made the greek encoding that dealt 
with utf in pdftex). It has to do with 'setting what are letters' and 
these modern greek patterns have plenty different.

You can patch lang-grk.mkii:

\installlanguage
   [\s!gr]
   [\c!spacing=\v!packed,
    \c!leftsentence=---,
    \c!rightsentence=---,
    \c!leftsubsentence=---,
    \c!rightsubsentence=---,
    \c!leftquote=\greekleftquot,
    \c!rightquote=\greekrightquot,
    \c!leftquotation=\greekleftquot,
    \c!rightquotation=\greekrightquot,
     % we're missing an encoding for greek
    \s!patterns=\s!agr,
    \s!mapping=\s!agr,
    \s!encoding=\s!agr,
    % but one can use mkiv / lmtx anyway
    \c!date={\v!day\ \v!month\ \v!year}]

At least you get something. In mkiv and lmtx we have both.

Just curious: you're still in mkii?
