It's
    ctxtools --contextversion
but it stopped working at some point (it doesn't work for me). I would say
    context --version
but that one definitely doesn't work on your machine. Maybe the
version string is written out when you compile a document, or you can
take a look at .../tex/context/base/context.tex

But that information is not really important now.

ConTeXt+XeTeX font support was completely broken at some point.

Right.

Well, maybe some other commands like
   \definefontsynonym[Serif][FontName]
could work as well, but that depends a bit on how broken the ConTeXt version is.

I also wanted to say that it might be interesting to try luatex, but
one still needs to be prepared for surprizes. If MKII satisfies their
needs, it would be most safe to keep a version that's compatible with
both.
