No, it manages both languages equally. Metafont is the default,  
however. You have to specify Metapost as follows if you want to use  
it instead of Metafont:

\usepackage[metapost]{mfpic}

It gives you access to features Metafont doesn't have: affine  
transformations on labels, color... And an easier use with pdfLaTeX ;-)
