I would second what Taco says: not embedding is just asking for trouble 
from third parties. However, if you're independent or otherwise control 
everybody's viewer, try this:

\usetypescript[adobekb][8r]
\loadmapfile[8r-base-ndl]
\usetypescript[postscript][8r]    % 'pos' is deprecated
\setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,11pt]
\starttext
\showbodyfont
\subject{Test}
Of correct font.
\stoptext

And here's one that ConTeXt can use (after Berend gives a thorough test 
and some feedback).

[Incidentally, there is one NimbusRoman that gets embedded: that's the 
slanted version, which seems unavoidable.]
