Yes, they are listed.

And I even get the fonts loaded when the font family is different:

\definefontfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[Pagella]
[tf={file:texgyrepagella-bolditalic.otf},
bf={file:texgyrepagella-italic.otf},
it={file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf}]

Are you sure about the syntax of definefotnfamily ?

You can check conflicts with

$> mtxrun --script fonts --info --list --all pagella

Experimenting is sometime the only way to learn,

but it's clear that it's mandatory to use a sandbox.

Modifying only some names can be ok with \definefont

but it's very likely that all these

texgyrepagella-regular-*.otf manually patched are in conflict

-- they go into the cache, so it can happen that silently context use

texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf instead of texgyrepagella-regular.otf .

At least

mtxrun --script pdf --fonts <pdffile>

should show you the right names.
