Yes.  In order to get MPC you should checkout using the following commands:

cvs co ACE_wrappers
cvs co ACE_MPC

You need to copy $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/global.features
into $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features.  Open the
default.features file and set boost = 1, cidl = 1.

Yes, it's better to use the version in $ACE_ROOT since we are not very
careful about making sure that things work with the version in
$ACE_ROOT/MPC.
