Did all that, thanks. Doesn't quite get me there, though. It sounds really good, because I don't typeset math, but fonts are always a problem with context in my experience, and having easy access to the Mac fonts would be excellent.

I have installed TeXLive from the CD-ROM. Onto this I installed the latest (dec 04) update of context. I downloaded the XeTeX package and ran the installer from that. Then followed the steps on this page, but when I run texexec --make -xtx en I get

! I can't read xetex.pool; bad path?

Of course, it does exist, at /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.local/web2c/xetex.pool

One difference I notice is that I have /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini (no textmf.local inside share/texmf). Anyone come across that so that the page can be updated with a workaround? It does amaze me that, with directory structure standardised and utilities to find files, paths seem to be a real problem with TeX. Something has not been thought through properly there. Alun ap Rhisiart.
