Hello,
Hans has already said that, but I want to stress it: the most
reasonable way to package ConTeXt in a distribution (Fink, or any other,
for that matter), is to start from the "Minimals":
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/.
This is a (relatively) lightweight, stand-alone distribution for
ConTeXt, and there shouldn't be any theoretical problems adapting it
into a system like Fink (which doesn't mean it wouldn't need some
effort!)
Of all people, Mojca, you should have mentioned that!
In any case, I don't believe that is true:

Why? If the TeX distributionn in Fink is so outdated (according to
you; I haven't checked), why bother bringing it up-to-date when we don't
need it in the first place?

Or you just create a stand-alone package for ConTeXt, mark it as
incompatible with the rest of the TeX-related packages in Fink, and use
it as such; just as you said yourself, actually.
