Those plateforms are m68, mips, mispel, s390 and possibly hppa if this is etch/sid. You should read the ocaml packaging policy (/usr/share/doc/ocaml_packaging.txt or something such, don't remember out of my head), and more to the point, the part where it mentions you have to not assume that the native code compiler (ocamlopt) is present, but check for its existence before building the native code compiler. I don't know about mtasc, but chances are good you can take either of ledit (only bytecode), spamoracle (bytecode and nativecode) or advi (bytecode or nativecode) as examples.
