Taco, I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm using TexLive on a linux system. I do not use any other fonts other than CM.
The file prodint.afm has the following contents: StartFontMetrics 4.0 Comment This is prodint.afm created from prodint.pfb by t1lib V. 1.0.0.

Another problem with this approach is the fact that this does not define a MATH symbol, which is really what I would want. Based on the LaTeX style file prodint.sty, I'm guessing I'll at least need a command like: \definemathsymbol [prodi] [op] [prodint] ["xx] but I can't figure out the usage of this command. I also suspect that I can not used the prodint.tfm file, supplied with the LaTeX package, but need to run Texfont to create one for ConTeXt. Can you confirm this? I greatly appreciate any help!
