Asterisk's chan_mgcp does not support being a media gateway right now. You can only control media gateways. Also, Asterisk doesn't currently support signalling reception on anything other than a DS0 directly connected to the machine. You're not going to be able to control media gateways either that are signalled via SS7, since chan_dahdi does not speak MGCP. These are both things that I would like to improve though...
