Or you use \definetypeface and specserif, specsans and specmono, e.g.
\definetypeface[mainface][rm][specserif][Times New Roman][default]
\definetypeface[mainface][ss][specsans] [Arial] [default]
\definetypeface[mainface][tt][specmono] [Courier] [default]
\definetypeface[mainface][mm][math] [times] [default]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
…
\stoptext
