Yup.  You can give it a path to fonts in a ~/.mgprc.  Mine says:

tfdir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf"

I managed to get an annoyingly exhaustive amount of knowledge about
getting mgp up on different machines while preparing someone else's
laptop to present on - talking about magicpoint, funnily enough.  Slides
at http://printf.net/mgp/ if anyone cares - now that I look back at them
'Tricky font configuration' is one of the bullet points.  :-)
