The cm-super package is on CTAN at fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/

But Vladimir Volovich didn't supply tfm's as he assumes that these will be
generated when needed on the fly. And as a replacement for EC etc. he
assumes the tfm's are already on the system. He obviously didn't consider
ConTeXt...

Maybe interesting for you is this section from the INSTALL file:

3.2) [for VTeX/Free]
   Copy all dvips/*.enc files to .../texmf/vtex/enc/ directory.
   Copy all vtex/*.ali files to .../texmf/vtex/config/ directory.

   You will need to generate all needed TFM files, because VTeX/Free can
   not generate them on the fly (TFM files for EC/TC, EC Concrete and
   EC Bright fonts are included into the VTeX/Free distribution).
   You can generate these files e.g. by processing your document by
   teTeX's latex. Put the TFM files to the curresponding subdirectories
   under .../texmf/fonts/tfm/.
