Marc Baudoin has been recompiling the NetBSD x86_64 binaries in TeX Live
for every new ConTeXt release, so installing TeX Live might be easier
than trying to recompile the binaries yourself:
https://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html
If you install "scheme-context" instead of the default "scheme-full",
you should get more or less exactly the same result as you'd get by
installing the Standalone Distribution---installing via TeX Live will
also give you Plain LuaTeX, but not pdfTeX or LaTeX, so the install size
should be at most 10% larger. There are a couple other minor
differences, but nothing that is likely to cause any problems:

If you want just the binary (C + cmake) source, you can download it from
CTAN:
https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/context/base/archives/luametatex-20251213.src.zip
You can also download the entire texmf source using the same link that
the official installer does
http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/texmf-context.zip
This should be identical to the GitHub link that you used, so it doesn't
matter which one you use.

The fonts are available in the separate (and rather poorly-named)
"texmf.zip" file
http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/texmf.zip
Or if you prefer to use a Git repository:
https://codeberg.org/contextgarden/context-distribution-fonts

I think that the installer might just be a shell script, so the exact
platform shouldn't matter as long as it's Unix-ish. But if the installer
_does_ depend on the binaries, you should just need to place a compiled
"luametatex" in the "bin/" folder beside the installer shell script.
I've written some semi-related documentation at
https://github.com/gucci-on-fleek/context-packaging/blob/master/files/INSTALLING.md
https://github.com/gucci-on-fleek/context-packaging/blob/master/files/README-BINARIES.md
Thanks,
