maybe you can try to encapsulate your class in a functor ? 
but I guess this doesn't  really solve your problem...

module Make(T : sig type a end) = struct
    class test ( l : T.a list) =
    object
       method result =
         let module M =
          struct
            type t = T.a
            let compare x y =
              if x < y then -1 else if x > y then 1 else 0
          end
      in
        let module MSet = Set.Make(M)
        in  MSet.elements (List.fold_right MSet.add l MSet.empty)
    end;;
end
