I just tried the following - given that margeff and mfx produce the 
same results, I am guessing you are ok (but I can't guarantee it).

use "http://www.stata-press.com/data/r9/nhanes2f.dta";
svy: probit  heartatk height weight female black
margeff, at(mean)
mfx
margeff, at(mean) model(probit)

Incidentally, for me it didn't matter whether I specified model(probit) or not.
