OK. I now have alphaminimal up and running (ConTeXt  ver: 2009.02.17  
18:50 MKII  fmt: 2009.2.24  int: english/english). (The only change is  
that I have it in my Applications folder).

The test file

\enableregime[mac]
\mainlanguage[en]

\definebodyfontenvironment[10.5pt]

%\usetypescript[lmodern][\defaultencoding]
%\starttypescript[serif][default][size]
   \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][rm][default]
   \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][mm][default]
%\stoptypescript

\setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt]

\usemodule[ancientgreek] 
[font=GreekDioxipe,scale=2.15,altfont=GreekCanonica,altscale=0.9]
%\usemodule[oldgreek] 
[font=GreekDioxipe,scale=2.15,altfont=GreekCanonica,altscale=0.9]

\setupfootnotes 
[conversion 
=numbers,way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal]
	
\starttext
This Greek should be scaled at 2.15 its design size
\localgreek{>'alfa ka`i b~hta}

This is more sample text.%
\footnote{This is a sample footnote}

\stoptext

processes but the Greek is still the wrong size.
