The mlton at mlton.org mailing list is for development discussion, and you 
should subscribe if you are interested in porting MLton to new platforms. 
Ville took a quick attempt at amd64-solaris:

BTW, I should mention that there should be little or no difficulty with 
MLton on amd64-* platforms where we have had success porting MLton to its 
x86-* variant.  E.g., I expect amd64-openbsd to work, since x86-openbsd 
has worked; the difficult part is what is documented in the mail above: 
getting the initial binary built on the amd64 platform.  As it stands, 
amd64-linux and amd64-freebsd were the only platforms that we actually had 
developers able to build and test, so we we couldn't in good conscience 
list the other amd64-*bsd platforms in the release notes.
