Hi,
I do have MacTeX 2011 installed (for LaTeX needs), but use the Standalone
(former minimals) for CoNTeXt.
Besides being more recent, this has the advantage that one can archive a done
project together with the Standalone tree
in case changes to CoNText happen break the project.
The relevant wiki page for installing and configuring with editors is at

I did think of the minimals, and indeed that was my first port of call
after 'context' failed from my MacTeX installation. However, there does
not seem to be any Tikz in the minimals, and I needed that. Setting up
Tikz is not so straight-forward.
first-setup --modules=all
the minimals installer remembers what gets installed and when updating
modules will be installed as well
if someone only wants luatex the initial install should say
--engine=luatex (more minimal, might become default at some point)
the only problem with tikz can be that it depends on some built in
functionality (i remember a recent post about such a dependency) but
normally the tikz maintainers are quite willing to take care of it;
another potential issue can be low level resource management but if the
proper interfaces are used this should work now
