Here I can say:

\definetypeface[palatino][rm][serif][palatino][default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface[palatino][mm][math] [palatino][default][encoding=ec]

\definetypeface[times]   [rm][serif][times]   [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface[times]   [mm][math] [times]   [default][encoding=ec]

\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

\starttext

Some $m=a+t+h$!

\switchtobodyfont[times,12pt]

Some $m=a+t+h$!

\stoptext

I wonder it it works at your site since i adapted typescripts. There will 
be new ones soon, including an adapted texfont.pl script that you can use 
to install fonts in the encodings you like most. The most fuzzy part is 
getting the map files right.
