what happens if you try:
texfont --ven=urw --col=palatino --enc=texnansi --sou=auto
and then
\autoloadmapfilestrue \setupencoding[default=texnansi]
and
\setupbodyfont[ppl]
context now should look for texnansi-*.tfm when define the fonts and pdftex
should try to include the associated type one files;
if you want to use system files, you should set up typescript sections like
the ber (berry one); i can include these in the distribution if users
provide them, (i lost track of the fuzzy 8char naming scheme).

maybe (in beta)
\usetypescript [berry] [ec] % or [texnansi] or [8r] helps ; see type-enc.tex
