I think, when you say "insists on having," you're referring to a message that
is seen on startup that says something to the effect of "I Times Italic" must
be installed. I think I can tell you how to deal with this (I am running 
MathType without I Times Italic installed). After opening MathType choose
Change typefaces from the preferences menu, change (using the font popup) the
mention or mentions of I Times Italic in the typefaces dialog to Times and
check the box for italic (assuming that you want your variables to be italic).
Quit MathType and delete I Times Italic and all the other Timeses except for
your merged font from your system. Now when you start MathType you should get
no message even though you don't have all those other Times thingys messing up
your font menus.

Let me know if this doesn't work for some reason, I know it's possible to get
things fixed up since, as I mentioned, that's the way I've got mine set up.
