You can link with the toplevellib and use the Toploop module which
provides functions for executing an OCaml AST. To create the AST you can
for example write a parser for your language with Camlp4 and translate
it using the Camlp4_import module. Note that you still need to have
standard library cmi's at runtime. Also you can only compile your
interpreter in bytecode.
Cheers,
