All definitions in type-* are based on the more extended naming of fonts, 
i.e. the -encoding scheme; now, on my machine (with map loading enabled) i 
can say:

\definetypeface[charter] [rm][serif][charter] [default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[utopia]  [rm][serif][utopia]  [default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[bookman] [rm][serif][bookman] [default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[palatino][rm][serif][palatino][default][encoding=texnansi]

\starttext
   \switchtobodyfont[         10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[charter, 10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[utopia,  10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[bookman, 10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[palatino,10pt] \input tufte \par
\stoptext

So, the free fonts on tex live (there are some more defined) are already 
available!

If you want, i can send you a zip with the texmf-fonts tree (as generated 
by texfont) that is needed for this.

If you want berry names, you can start your file with

\usetypescript[berry][texnansi]

or [ec] if you've used encoding=ec
