Your script is clever, but in my experience, you can simplify the  
process. I have a TeXLive install and the ConTeXt minimals on my OS X  
box. In order to use them, I have two configuration files. Here's the  
one for the minimals (which is named .minicontext):

PATH="/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH"
export PATH
export TEXMFCACHE="/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-cache"
export TEXMFCNF="/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf/web2c"
export TEXMF="{/Users/tas/texmf,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-project,/ 
Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-fonts,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-local,/ 
Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf- 
extra,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/ 
context/lua,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base,/ 
Users/tas/texmf/scripts/context/lua}"

I simply run "source ~/.minicontext", and my system is set up. The  
syntax is for zsh; if you're running bash or (heaven forbid!) tcsh,  
you may have to adapt it slightly; and of course, adapt the path  
variables to your own needs.

Best

Thomas
