Yes, I'd simply setup a Global Formula at the top of the Post to control the output values. I would only recommend doing this for 3X or 4X Positioning work. It *may* work for 4X or 5X continuous, but there are a bunch of other calculations that are happening internally, so I wouldn't trust it for 4X/5X work without a good review.
First, create a new Format Statement in the Post. (put it below the others)
fs2 30 0.9 0.9 #Format 9 decimal places for Metric Conversion
Then, add these codes, at the top of your post, starting in the first column:
met_conv : 0.039370078
fmt "" 30 met_conv
xout = xout * met_conv
yout = yout * met_conv
zout = zout * met_conv
arcrad$ = arcrad$ * met_conv
iout = iout * met_conv
jout = jout * met_conv
kout = kout * met_conv
