Hi Thomas, May be that I am not the right person to reply. Never the less I have installed quite some fonts in ConTeXt.
As you show in your message, you have the pfb and afm files. With afm2tfm you can generate a tfm file with the required encoding (Could one use e.g. texnansi?) By means of texfont you can generate the fontfiles needed for ConTeXt in the required encoding including a mapfile which you can include in the pdftex.cfg.
