I see two posibilites (both untested):

either replace the # with \# or surround your

\startuseMPgraphic
\stopuseMPgraphic

with

{\catcode`#=11
\startuseMPgraphic
\stopuseMPgraphic
}

I don't know if this has any side effects in the startuseMPgraphic
environment or if this even works. Probably there is an official
ConTeXt way to do this.
Your first method is the proper way:

copied from supp-mps.tex:

\appendtoks
  \let \# \letterhash
  \let \_ \letterunderscore
  \let \& \letterampersand
  \let \{ \letteropenbrace
  \let \} \letterclosebrace
\to \everyMPgraphic

so, all these can be escaped
