The problem is not mktexpk or the teTeX installation, but that
you have not properly told teTeX where to find the source files
for the font. This could be done several ways:
1. Setting the MFINPUTS variable, see
lilypond-1.x.xx/buildscripts/lilypond-login.sh
The disadvantage is that TeX might generated
the font files in the current directory instead
of in the global font repository, depending on the
configuration of your teTeX.
2. Linking or copying the lilypond .mf files into
(one of) the ordinary teTeX file tree(s).
This is described im the Lilypond FAQ list.
From your search results below, I guess the
proper directory on your system would be something
like /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/lilypond/
Don't forget to run 'texhash'/'mktexlsr'!
If you install from a RPM, I think this will be
handled automatically. I don't actually know what
Lilypond's 'make install' does, I have never used it.

Yes, TeX searches all files below TEXMF/tex/.
The command 'texdoc TETEXDOC' should provide more
information if you want understand what happens.
'kpsewhich titledefs.tex' will tell you which file
will be used. Also, once 'kpsewhich feta-din10.mf'
gives you a reasonable answer, your mktexpk problems
will be solved.
