No, my typescripts defile the font to be
    GenBasR.otf or GenBasR.ttf

Apparently you have installed the font (I provided the example for the
case when one puts fonts in TEXMF tree). In that case you need (for
LuaTeX you might need to provide other names - not sure)

\starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic]
\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasic]          [name:Gentium Basic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicItalic]    [name:Gentium Basic/I]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBold]      [name:Gentium Basic/B]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBoldItalic][name:Gentium Basic/BI]
[features=default]
\stoptypescript

or, even more simple would be the following one-liner:
    \definetypeface[mygentium][rm][Xserif][Gentium Basic][default]
