You can set the METRICS environment variable.  The documentation says:

     METRICS   Contains the path to seach for AFM-files.  Format
               is as for the PATH environment variable. The
               default path built into this library is:

                /usr/lib/afm:/usr/local/lib/afm:/usr/openwin/lib/fonts/afm/:.

Or you can just patch the path in Font::AFM before you install it.
