I know that Debian has a ppc-linux package:
   http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/mlton
If you are on a Debian compatible distribution, you may be able to 
apt-get it.  Otherwise, you might try to forcibly extract the contents 
of the Debian package for a local install (I don't know how to do this, 
but I'm sure there is a way).

If you need to port to a new platform, the instructions may be found at:
   http://www.mlton.org/PortingMLton
Note that following these instructions don't require you to install a 
cross compiling gcc.

If I get a chance, I'll try to put together a script that encapsulates 
the Bootstrap portion of the process.
