I tried plain only for testing purposes. My goal is to be able to use
LaTeX. Also I don't have a "context space": As non-Miktex-files I use
currently only the executables luatex, mktexlsr (and kpswhich) and a
texmf.cnf-file.

If you mean a complete plainTeX-format: I at least don't need it much
;-) 

But what would be really fine were extracts of the context code: E.g. a
bundle of self contained lua-code and tex-code that leds to an extended
\font command (or a \font command with extended syntax similar to xetex)
with opentype/ttf-support. If such a primitive were present it would be
probably quite easy to write the LaTeX support e.g. by adapting
fontspec. Or a bundle which can be used to convert other input encodings
to utf8. Or a bundle of the code which sets catcodes and lccode etc.
