with existing i guess that youy mean berry names.

if someone is willing to figure out how those barry names map onto internal 
names ...

internally for instance SerifBold maps onto LucidaBright-Demi which maps 
onto <typefaceencoding>-lbd

so what's needed is something

\starttypescript [lucida] [texnansi] % or something else that suits, maybe 
just [texnansi] alone

   \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbd] [some kind of berry name] 
[encoding=texnansi]

or

   \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [some berry name] [encoding=texnansi]

   ...

and add that script to say mynames.tex and then say

   \usettypescriptfile[mynames]

then things should work with

   \usetypescript [lucida] [texnansi]
   \setupbodyfont [lucida]

So, it's definitely possible, but i'm not going to make those mappings 
myself -)
