The MLton powerpc deb is here:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mlton/ 
mlton_20060213-1_powerpc.deb

You can read a .deb from any *nix. Just do: 'ar x the-package.deb'
That will give you a data.tar.gz which includes the directory tree.
Presumably that should be enough for you to get a working MLton.
