I had a look at the typescripts and the mapfiles, and I think I see  
why your approach isn't working. All tex-gyre fonts are only defined  
in terms of a [serif] typescript (line 52-66 of type-gyr.tex). So I  
tried to change your minimal example to this:

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]

\definetypeface[adventor][rm][serif][adventor][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt]
\starttext
\ss Bla
\stoptext

However, I now get hundreds of warnings in my log (attached below). I  
can't pinpoint it, but it looks like ConTeXt is looking for a file  
qag-name.map which isn't there. Upon further investigation: I get  
these warnings whenever I use one of the new tex-gyre font names. So  
defining a typeface like this:

\definetypeface[main][rm][serif][palatino][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[main,9pt]

works wonderfully. Defining it like this

\definetypeface[main][rm][serif][pagella][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[main,9pt]

should give the identical results, but triggers the warnings.

I must admit that I find this a bit frustrating. The tex-gyre font  
project looks so promising, but users need a simpler syntax to use  
the fonts (I know we want need this anymore with luatex, but it needs  
to be fixed anyway).

All best

Thomas
