That is simply wrong.
Not only will ConTeXt happily let you do that, it is sometimes a good
thing to do. In a font with many weights, you have to select appropriate
faces for the medium or printing method, and using a light face for the
normal and a regular weight (whatever that means for the font) for bold
emphasis. Or you may want change the way emphasis is used to make a
point, and reverse bold and italic in one swell foop.
The example on the wiki page for \definefontfamily shows some of this in
action, but ConTeXt does not get in the way of doing even sillier things:
\definefontfamily [reutenauer]
[rm]
[sourcecodepro]
[tf=style:bolditalic,
it=file:kabelblack.ttf,
bf=style:normal,
bi=file:comic.ttf]
\setupbodyfont [reutenauer]
\starttext
tf: {\tf \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par
it: {\it \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par
bf: {\bf \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par
bi: {\bi \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par
\stoptext
