Well, you could create a temporary file from withing the metapost
graphic, then read that file back on the TeX side, and then shift
the image vertically based on the info from that.
Complicated and a bit ugly, but doable. A nicer solution is to
adjust the bounging box of the image itself so that it does the
right thing. This seems to do the trick (but I recall there is
a way to pass a TeX variable to the figure; and that would be much
cleaner; but I don't remember how offhand).
\startuseMPgraphic{diagram2}
u := StrutHeight;
draw origin--(2u,0)--(u,sqrt(3)*u)--cycle;
currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-(sqrt(3)*u/3));
setbounds currentpicture to (origin--(2u,0)--(u,sqrt(3)*u)--cycle);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\startformula
A\raise\Umathaxis\displaystyle\hbox{\useMPgraphic{diagram2}}
=B
\stopformula
\stoptext
