Mocja---Sorry! I should have added that with the ConTeXt-pdftex.engine and minimals now see my personal texmf too. So it is possible to get the desired outcome without changing setuptex. 

Still, I will test out your first proposal tomorrow and report.

Cheers x 3. And many thanks.

~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-luaTeX.engine

Done. No joy. ConTeXt complains:
/Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-luaTeX.engine: line 4:
context: command not found

Oh, sorry again.
  export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH

With this change in all the engines---thanks to Aditya too---ConTeXt-pdftex.engine and ConTeXt-XeTeX.engine now work as they should (which is great!)
But running ConTeXt-luatex.engine gets
MtxRun | skipping configuration for /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c from /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/3fc847143b06f084e10e73c8fbdf4ae2/trees/3beab8509a03fa29e95f93134a943a7f

But then: you have an intel processor, right? If not, change that line
accordingly. (Check if you have binaries in that folder.)

I have an Intel processor and there is a bin folder in ./Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/
