Do I need mtxrun?  If so, where are the sources and how do I build
it?
Yes, you need it, but it’s just an alias to luametatex:
~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin $ ll
total 7704

lrwxr-xr-x  1 hraban  staff    10B 22 Feb 18:47 mtxrun@ -> luametatex
-rw-r--r--  1 hraban  staff   685K 22 Feb 18:47 mtxrun.lua
The mtxrun in ~/context/bin is only used during installation.
What else do I need in ~/context/tex?  Currently I have
.
├── texmf-context

│       └── contextcnf.lua
└── texmf-freebsd-amd64
     └── bin
         ├── context -> luametatex
         ├── context.lua
         ├── luametatex
         ├── mtxrun -> luametatex
         └── mtxrun.lua
I guess you’re lacking the main distribution package.

My installation (tree -dL 4, partly shortened):
