The math fonts compatible with Palatino are px math and math paza ConTeXt
only has support for px math.

Currently, no math font in mkiv is "complete". Which specific glyphs are
missing for you?
The easiest opiton is to use asana math, which is an otf math font based
on px fonts.
\starttypescript [math] [asana] [name]
\definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [name:Asana-Math] [features=math\mathsizesuffix]
\stoptypescript
and then
\definetypeface [pagella_ar] [mm] [math] [asana] [default]

I also find px math ugly (although I did use it for my thesis). math pazo
is not much better, it uses most of the symbols from cm. There is a
commerical math from micropress that is supposed to be compatible with
palatino, but I have never used it myself.

No. Also keep in mind that euler is no where close to being a complete
math font. Mkii used a virtual font that took missing symbols from px
math and cm.
I have a local half baked support for Euler, which uses missing symbols
from iwona. I can send the patch if you want to experiment with it.
