You don't need any additional "fonts" subfolder since it is already in
the zip; and if you exctract the fonts into texmf-context, the font
might be deleted when you update the distribution, so you should
better use texmf-context, texmf-local, or ~/.texmf for example (not
100% about the last one, but I can check).

You don't need any typescripts at all. They are already in
type-one.mkiv (type-one.mkii).

Just do the following:

1.) extract http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/install/fonts/psfonts/bh/lucida.zip
into /opt/context/texmf-fonts/

2.) copy all *.pfb files into /opt/context/texmf-fonts/fonts/type1/bh/lucida

3.) run mktexlsr and mtxrun --generate

And don't use any self-made typescript. Math is done using
    \starttypescript [math] [lucida]
        \loadfontgoodies[lucida-math]
        \definefontsynonym[MathRoman][lucidamath@lucida-math]
    \stoptypescript

For details you may check the file
/opt/context/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/lucida-math.lfg

The last file is typically not something that user is expected to
write on his own (if he/she does, it could just as well be included in
ConTeXt itself; as the number of available math fonts is very very
limited).
