Is it inherently tricky to get Type1 PS Mac fonts working with ConTeXt & luatex on Linux?
It should not be.
Also, the SabonLT-Roman.afm file that came from Linotype has a section titled "StartKernData", but .afm files generated using type1afm, fontforge, font2afm, etc. have no kerning section. Would using such .afm files cause sub-standard output with regard to kerning?
Yes. If the pfb font versions match, you should be able use the afm from Linotype.
load afm> reading /home/john/.fonts/SomeMacintoshPSfont.afm
Why the odd afm name? Is there a matching SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb ? If there is, context cannot find it, and that is where this fatal message comes from:
Type1: Could not open Type1 font: (null)) )
