How about:

$this->find(
        'count',
        array(
                'joins' => array(
                        array(
                                'alias' => 'Post',
                                'table' => 'posts',
                                'type' => 'left'
                                'conditions' => array(
                                     'MetaTag.id' => $this->id()
                                )
                         )
                  )
           )
);
