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

I agree about the simple probit option. However,

margeff, at(mean) model(svy: probit)

yields a fairly different result.
Look at how the output is labeled though. It should probably return an error when you do that, but instead it apparently thinks you specified the -eform- option.

. margeff, at(mean) model(svy: probit)
