I should add that when my .bash_profile has
. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/
I cannot compile any file because of the mismatch between format and base files.

If I change my .bash_profile to
. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin
as suggested in
When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing:
  . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex
in your shell or add
  "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin"
to PATH variable if you want to set it permanently.
This can usually be done in .bashrc, .bash_profile
(or whatever file is used to initialize your shell).
I get the error message  
The argument "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin" is not a valid TEXROOT path.
(There is no file "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex")

I see that I have two texexecs in my Minimals now:
one in
ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin
the other in
ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

Which one is the right one?

I have just installed the latest beta (minimals) and updated my
.bash_profile (as advised) so that it now reads:
. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex

Why the second argument? (It's optional, but wrong in this case.)

When I try to compile any file, I get:
FatalError      : Your format does not match the base files!
FormatVersion   : 2009.11.26 16:28 MKII
FilesVersion    : 2009.12.01 00:14
How do I fix this? (texexec --make --all did not do the trick.)

I suspect that you don't call the right texexec when you run it (maybe
you have another texexec in TeX Live?)
