Strange... It works fine here with

ConTeXt  ver: 2006.09.10 13:33 MK II  fmt: 2006.9.10  int: 
english/english

Normally, runMPgraphics is set to true in one of the files, so you do 
not need to set it to true. I have no idea why you should be getting 
'undefined'. Check your log file for

systems         : system commands are enabled

and

system(mpost  -progname=metafun -mem=metafun mptest-mpgraph)...executed.
