Yes. The sticking point is that mlton requires itself or smlnj to
compile itself. The current version of mlton in the archives has been
uninstallable for years, so I've been trying to use smlnj to bootstrap
mlton. This has required some changes to the source and it's still not
completely there.

The right path forward is probably for me to file an issue against the
Github mlton project, and then we can discuss fixing the
smlnj-to-bootstrap-mlton issues there.
