what happens if you try:

texfont --ven=urw  --col=palatino --enc=texnansi --sou=auto

and then

\autoloadmapfilestrue \setupencoding[default=texnansi]

and

\setupbodyfont[ppl]

context now should look for texnansi-*.tfm when define the fonts and pdftex 
should try to include the associated type one files;

if you want to use system files, you should set up typescript sections like 
the ber (berry one); i can include these in the distribution if users 
provide them, (i lost track of the fuzzy 8char naming scheme).

maybe (in beta)

\usetypescript [berry] [ec] % or [texnansi] or [8r] helps ; see type-enc.tex
