Since a complete teTeX installation should include the LaTeX
PSNFSS package you don't need to generate the fonts (TFMs)
yourself.

Simply

====================
 \usetypescript[berry][ec]
 \setupbodyfont
   [pos,10pt]
 
 \starttext
 
 hello world.
 
 {\ss hello again!}
 
 {\tt the end.}
 
 \stoptext
====================

should work. This will use T1 (aka ec) encoded fonts not the
standard LY1 (aka texnansi) encoding. Therefore you have to
setup the proper input regime (\enableregime)
