Is there a way to implement Metafont Font defs in a [La]Tex file, so
I can
latex foo
dvi2ps foo
lpr foo on a postscript printer.
???

One typesets text the other makes fonts. Would you feed a COBOL program to a C compiler? (Yeah, I think I know what you want. Sorry, you can't make fonts on the fly with LaTeX. Not this way anyway.)

Not this way anyway.) I have a patched version of dvips that runs Metafont to produce *.pk fonts as needed from *.mf source files, if that's what you need.
