In short, there are two main steps:
1) generate tfm and map file for use with tex + dvips or pdftex. The most
flexible way is to use fontinst (but not the easiest one).
2) make a font definition file for context. It should be easy to make it
based on an existing one.
If you send me the afm's, I can do it for you.
btw, fontinst can generate .fd file for latex nfss. Maybe it would be nice
to have this feature in context? I have a package called plnfss (plain
nfss), which is a simple nfss written in plain for this purpose.
