I mean, you're not writing Greek in Unicode, right? If you're still interested, drop me a line, I have a home-cooked Greek package for ConTeXt which works very well on my box (which is teTeX on Mac OS X); I could send you the files. And the iota subscript is usuall done with an | after the vowel, as in a|. The combination =A (alpha with circumflex) does not occur in classical Greek without a breathing, but Idris sent me this asking me to forward it.
