OK, that was untested.  Try this instead:
Options Matrix map <<EOM
{
	price => 'mypricefield',
}
EOM

Yes, but it only works for the current page, so you have to set it at 
the beginning of every page you want or you can use an AutoLoad 
directive to set it at the beginning of every page that IC loads:

[calcn]
$Config->{Options_repository}{Matrix}{map}{price} = 'mypricefield';
return;
[/calcn]
