I don't believe anyone is working on porting OCaml to LLVM.

The nearest work is probably my own HLVM project which reached a major
milestone recently and is now capable of high-performance parallel
programming:

From the point of view of an OCaml programmer, HLVM is a DSL that drops
various features from OCaml (e.g. polymorphic recursion) in order to provide
easily-obtained, predictable and high performance.
