 You need to define a MetaPost format.

 You'll also need to define a converter from MetaPost to PNG (for the
 LyX screen) and from MetaPost to EPS (for Latex). 

Couldn't this be added to a future lyx release by default?

 Sure, but I don't use MetaPost myself so would prefer to see something
 that really works...

perfectly reasoable.
 
 If you get it working then throw your .lyx/preferences file this way
 and I'll add the test to the configure script.

At the moment I use neither lyx nor metapost, sorry. And I habe no time
atm to dwell into it.

Yours,
Karsten
