setting up math fonts is normally not something that a user does: there
is a limited amount of math fonts and they are normally supported

it depends on how many users want to define math symbols, make math font
metrics (no fun) etc
in most cases there should beno problem to go from latex to context
because symbolic names are used for math symbols and resolving them is a
low level (hidden) activity.
