The file without an extension looks suspiciously like a Mac font resource. Can you try running the utility "fondu" on it (from the command line)? That will usually produce the pfbs (very likely, there's more than one: roman, italics, bold ...). Texfont, btw, can equally well work with truetype fonts, so if you have a proper tryetype font with extension .ttf. you might as well use this. texfont will produce a map entry that you will have to modify a bit (so it points to a .ttf instead of the default .pfb), but that's not too difficult. As to names: don't bother, ConTeXt is happy with whatever name you throw at it.
