The amd64 packages are not actually compiled for amd64:

/usr/lib/smlnj/bin/.run/run.x86-linux: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=205158fc8f5bd70fe18a4b1f2a5279e01053b961, stripped

This means that they cannot run on systems where the kernel does not
provide the i386 system call interface.

Yes. That's why smlnj-runtime Depends on libc6-i386. Upstream doesn't have
native 64-bit support yet.

That's not a typical configuration. If you're going to disable support for
the 32-bit interface, then you'll have to wait until upstream finishes
64-bit support.

Cheers,
James

These days, users could just install the smlnj:i386 packages, which
would makes this much more explicit.
