I can make your example work by passing the argument as
a true metapost string:
* remove the \MPstring command: draw
OK. But I need it set as btex $x$ etex at the right end of the
horizontal axis.

I'm not going to fiddle with the right end for you, but
You can make it $x$ by:
create_axes(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,ux,uy)($x$);

1. How can I do this in plain metapost?
2. What would be the Context Way?
btex ... etex is parsed as-is and therefore cannot be uses
this is what the macro textext(...) is for, it writes the (expanded)
string to a file and then applies tex to it between runs

Hans,
I've tried various things without much success. I cannot seem to
access the contents of xlbl below.
Is this approach ever going to work?
Note: I am trying to pass the string x to the parameter xlbl.

Hi David,
Put the x into a variable:
\setMPtext{1}{x}
you can define the \stetMPtext within the \starttext \stoptext or outside
Call
create_axes(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,ux,uy)(\MPbetex{1});

Willi et al,
No luck. I can't get any text to show up. I've spent about three days
on this, reading, etc., and I'm no closer than I was three days ago.

color gridlines; gridlines:=\MPcolor{gridlines};
