This may be a stupid question, but why? TeXLive already includes
ConTeXt, and it should be possible to split ConTeXt from
texlive_texmf-full into its own package (texlive_texmf-context).
If you insist on having a newer version of ConTeXt than is included in
TeXLive, can you still not do this in the context of the TeXLive port
(e.g. by selective updating)?
