XeTeX is able to guess the Bold/Italic alternatives, given the Regular
alternative. I use this in the "wildcard" typescripts, and just hacked
up a demo [you deserve what you get if you try this in production...]
that can be woven into foXet. I add the following definitions into the
environment file:
\def\setFOfontname
{\edef\xFOfontname{FO:\FOfontfamily:\FOfontweight:\FOfontstyle:
\FOfontvariant}%
\doifdefined{XeTeXversion}{\directsetup{fe:font:xetex:guess}}% new
bit
\doifelsefontsynonym{\xFOfontname}
{\let\FOfontname\xFOfontname}
{\edef\xFOfontname{FO:\FOfontfamily:\FOfontweight:\FOfontstyle}%
\doifelsefontsynonym{\xFOfontname}
{\let\FOfontname\xFOfontname}
{\edef\xFOfontname{FO:\FOfontfamily:\FOfontstyle}%
\doifelsefontsynonym{\xFOfontname}
{\let\FOfontname\xFOfontname}
{\edef\xFOfontname{FO:\FOfontfamily:\FOfontweight}%
\doifelsefontsynonym{\xFOfontname}
{\let\FOfontname\xFOfontname}
{\edef\xFOfontname{FO:\FOfontfamily}%
\doifelsefontsynonym{\xFOfontname}
{\let\FOfontname\xFOfontname}
{}}}}}}
\startsetups fe:font:xetex:guess
% XeTeX is good at guessing a few names, so we emulate the Xserif
wildcard typescripts
\doifelse\FOfontweight{bold}
{\doifelse\FOfontstyle{italic}
{\definefontsynonym[FO:\FOfontfamily:bold:italic]["\FOfontfamily/
BI"][encoding=uc]}
{\definefontsynonym[FO:\FOfontfamily:bold]
["\FOfontfamily/B"] [encoding=uc]}}
{\doifelse\FOfontstyle{italic}
{\definefontsynonym[FO:\FOfontfamily:italic]
["\FOfontfamily/I"] [encoding=uc]}
{\definefontsynonym[FO:\FOfontfamily] ["\FOfontfamily"]
[encoding=uc]}}
\stopsetups
Which works a charm on the following file:
<?xml version='1.0'?>

However (hi Hans!), when there's a font family with a space in it,
ConTeXt falters:

And yet you have time to get deep into FO?
Well, different strokes for different folks, I suppose...
