Take a look at the trunk of ocamljs, and in particular the jslib
library, which does what you describe for Javascript:
http://code.google.com/p/ocamljs/source/browse/#svn/trunk/src/jslib
The main thing to know is that you can use the Camlp4 MetaGenerator
module to lift a Javascript (C#) AST value to an OCaml AST value.
There is some other magic that I don't fully understand but was able
to get working by aping the quotation machinery for regular OCaml.
As an example of the use of this library see:
http://code.google.com/p/ocamljs/source/browse/trunk/src/jscomp/jsgen.ml
