There was an SML/NJ port to Plan 9 for the MIPS and Sparc architectures
(done by Sean Dorward, and continued by me for a while), but never one for
the x86 architecture.  There is a fair amount of work involved in doing a
port (dealing with different assembly language formats, reconciling
different calling conventions) and the port fell into disuse about 5 years
ago when I stopped working on a project that used SML.
