You should be able to get a basic system working without any further packages (I did). But you will need to make the home directory and /tmp ranged (as mentioned in README.MLS) in order to allow access by multiple levels since the polyinstantiated directory support is not in the mainline kernel, and are likely to encounter various denials when trying to operate at multiple levels. For a fully operational MLS system, there will have to be further userspace work.
