This worked for enabling the commands. Of course, this revealed a new problem. texmfstart was not being called correctly. Replacing texmfstart with: ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb , which is my path to texmfstart.rb, in \runR solved the problem. I had followed the "Other method" from the ConTeXt wiki for enabling texmfstart on my system. This works fine for calling commands from the command line, but (as suggested in the wiki) doesn't necessarily work for other methods. Once I sort out all of these OS X specific details, I'll post back to my original message with a solution.
