I'm a newcomer to the MGS games and I don't feel lost at all. I'm at the start of Act 4 and while I'm sure there are references to previous games that I have missed, I think MGS 4 gives you enough background that the narrative stays intact as a stand-alone. My advice is, don't let the fact that you haven't played earlier MGS games keep you from playing this one.
For that matter, don't let the fact that you didn't like earlier MGS games keep you from trying this one out. I start MGS 3 and hated it, but I'm really enjoying 4.
