There might be a more official way of doing it, but what worked for me  
on Mac and Linux was to install the full Isabelle2011 bundle and  
cannibalize it, i.e. steal its interesting third-party components. For  
example,

ln -s /Applications/Isabelle2011.app/Isabelle/contrib/polyml ~/polyml

will create a symlink that will be automatically picked up by the  
repository version of Isabelle (if your repository is somewhere under  
~).
