Yes and no. It is the user's job but MLton could make it easier.

I would like to be able to monitor the allocations that are made by my processes and communicate with them in order to change some runtime parameters and/or force one process to page its heap to the disk and sleep.

In order to achieve this, I don't have any other solution than to hack MLton. Having a well defined interface for that would be helpful (unfortunately, maybe just for me)
