Using bitmap (metafont) fonts in context is not really supported, I
think. ConTeXt MkIV at least seems to actively disable the .pk bitmap
searching in luatex.
Are you using texlive? (the font is available as a TL package).
If so, then with an input like this
\definefont[suetterlin][suet14 sa 1]
\starttext
{\suetterlin some text}
\stoptext
'texexec' should work more or less out of the box.
I said "more or less" because on some systems automatic pk generation is
turned off, and then you may have to call mktexpk by hand, for example:
$ mktexpk --dpi 514 --mag 12/14 --mfmode localfont suet14
Best wishes,
Taco
