Do you really want an equation environment (with equation numbering
etc.)? This would not be that easy, because the correct counter values
are not known when the equation is processed.
In case you just need a math formula, proceed as follows:
If you export to MetaPost (and multi level MetaPost) just tag the
texts you want to see in math mode as "special" in the xfig text
parameters and enter the formula just as in your document (e.g. type
"$x+y$", without the quotes, but with the dollars). You won't see the
proper result in xfig, but later in your document.
Depending on your version of the xfig to MetaPost converter you may be
restricted to plain TeX syntax for your math text in the default
configuration. The latest version should allow you to use LaTeX syntax
by default.
Enjoy,
Klaus
