Mocja—
This is great. I now have access to the binaries in ConTeXtMinimals/ 
tex:
context --version
gives the right answer.

For setting HOMETEXMF you can help yourself, though it would be nice
if we provided a solution that worked out of the box. But I would  
like
to get a confirmation from Hans that it's OK to do that.
I have modified the texmf.cnf in
./Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf/web2c with the lines
export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf
export
TEXMF='{$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!! 
$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}'
but ConTeXt still does not find my personal texmf folder
I probably told you wrong, but:
1.) you have HOMETEXMF first and then TEXMFHOME: these need to be  
equal
2.) unless you are following (3), don't modify the file in texmf/,  
but create
 /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf
instead, else the file will be overwritten at first update
3.) even then I'm not completely sure, but I guess that environmental
variables override settings in texmf.cnf, so you either need to
 a) modify setuptex (rename it and run the renamed file instead of  
setuptex)
 b) only export PATH and not run setuptex at all; in that case values
from texmf.cnf will be used
- maybe you need to run "mktexlsr" or "luatools --generate"
I need to think about this and learn more.

The opening lines of the console read:
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex: line 83: cd:
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/context: No such file or directory
Where does this "context" come from? From .engine file for TeXShop?
...
The argument "" is not a valid TEXROOT path.
There is no file "/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex"
Setting "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex" as TEXROOT instead.

This comes from the console window that TeXShop opens when it typesets
