Thanks, Wolfgang.  This works pretty well.

You need also \definefontsynonym but it's easier to create a new
typeface (fontfamily) and load it with \switchtobodyfont.

\definefontfallback
   [AnotherFontFallback]
   [file:texgyreherosregular*default]
   [lowercasenormal]
   [force=yes]

\definefontsynonym
   [AnotherFontMain]
   [file:texgyrepagellaregular]
   [fallbacks=AnotherFontFallback]

\definefont [AnotherFont] [AnotherFontMain*default]

\starttext

\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{A}{\recurselevel}\space}\par
\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{a}{\recurselevel}\space}

\AnotherFont

\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{A}{\recurselevel}\space}\par
\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{a}{\recurselevel}\space}

\stoptext
