That is more or less the case. There is no reason why it should not
work with ConTeXt.
The main reason why I never looked into it is that the font offers
different optical sizes. And supporting optical sizes is something
that complicates matters a lot. If you would be happy with a single
optical size, that would be a lot easier.

Are we talking about MKIV?
ConTeXt sources. math-vfu.lua and other math-*.mkiv/lua files, as well
as font-*.mkiv/lua.
You need to define a mapping vector to map from 8bit font to UTF-8.
See for example
mathencodings["tex-mi"] = {
[0x1D6E4] = 0x00, -- Gamma
[0x1D6E5] = 0x01, -- Delta
in math-vfu.lua or tex/context/fonts/lucida-math.lfg or keep asking
questions. There is no manual to explain how to write such vectors.

You need an extra switch. I think that --font=mnsymbol should work,
but I need to test (there's a chance that it doesn't and I plan to
change that anyway).
