The \definefontfamily uses currently a fixed value for the font width
but I won’t have time for this before the weekend because I have to
check a few (hundred!) fonts for the best solution.


Besides the \definefontfamily you can also write the required typescripts
yourself, below is a example for the normal Avenir Next fonts.

%%%% begin example
\starttypescript[sans][avenir]
     \setups[font:fallback:sans]
     \definefontsynonym [Sans]           [Avenir Next(AvenirNext-Regular)]
     \definefontsynonym [SansItalic]     [Avenir Next(AvenirNext-Italic)]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBold]       [Avenir Next(AvenirNext-Bold)]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [Avenir 
Next(AvenirNext-BoldItalic)]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[sans][avenir-light]
     \setups[font:fallback:sans]
     \definefontsynonym [Sans]           [Avenir 
Next(AvenirNext-UltraLight)]
     \definefontsynonym [SansItalic]     [Avenir 
Next(AvenirNext-UltraLightItalic)]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBold]       [Avenir Next(AvenirNext-Medium)]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [Avenir 
Next(AvenirNext-MediumItalic)]
\stoptypescript

\definetypeface [avenir] [ss] [sans] [avenir] [default] [features=default]
\definetypeface [avenir] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]

\definetypeface [avenir-light] [ss] [sans] [avenir-light] [default] 
[features=default]
\definetypeface [avenir-light] [mm] [math] [modern]       [default]

\setupbodyfont[avenir]

\starttext

\input knuth {\bf \input knuth }

\switchtobodyfont[avenir-light]
\input knuth {\bf \input knuth }

\stoptext
%%%% end example


BTW: ConTeXts already provides typescripts for many OS X fonts but they 
are a little bit dated.
