It's not Metapost, that is disabled, but 'system', that is, calling
external programs.
You can change this in texmf.cnf (at least on tetex):

shell_escape = t % enable system commands via \write18{...}

BTW: What means 18 in \write18? 

I don't really know, if this fixes the problem (is 'system' a Perl
command? then there must be a restriction to Perl)
