Oh boy. This is really not the place where your personal additions to
your TeX installation should go. But if it can find the files in this
location, let's take it from there.

No, the entire point is that the module comes with these metric files;
I have prepared all this and run texfont for you. Plus, you don't need
any metrical files for XeTeX. I have included a couple of fonts too,
so you should be good to go. Try a minimal file:
\enableregime[utf]
\usemodule[ancientgreek][font=GFSPorson]
\starttext
test: \localgreek{Μῆνιν ἄειδε, θεά}
\stoptext

Two explanations are possible (there was no attachment to your mail):
- you're not using ConTeXt. you should invoke it with texexec --xtx
yourfilename.tex
- your ConTeXt is too old. OpenSuSE has TeXLive 2007, I guess, so you
should update ConTeXt.

As I said, with the latest version, you should be able to use all
engines. So you can use ConTeXt with utf8 input (you have to include
the \enableregime[utf] line at the beginning of the file) or XeTeX
(which will only work with utf8-input) or luatex. Which manual says
that ConTeXt expects pure ASCII input?
