Below is a MkIV example where I enabled the Stylistic Set 11 for the 
Fraktur font.

\definefontfeature [longs] [ss11=yes]

\definefontfamily [hauptfont]  [rm] [Charis SIL]
\definefontfamily [schoenfont] [rm] [Unifraktur Maguntia] 
[features={default,longs}]

\setupbodyfont[hauptfont]

\starttext

Dies ist mit Features, denke ich.

{\switchtobodyfont[schoenfont]Und jetzt schreiben wir etwas in Fraktur, 
das ist ja schöner.}

\stoptext
