They are .el files and they are compiled to .elc and installed.  You
can use M-x smalltalk-mode or add this to .emacs:

     (setq auto-mode-alist
           (append  '(("\\.st\\'" . smalltalk-mode))
                    auto-mode-alist))

     (autoload 'smalltalk-mode
"....../share/emacs/site-lisp/smalltalk-mode.elc" "" t)

as mentioned in the manual.

They could be a good idea, but time is finite.  Next year you could
propose an Eclipse Google Summer of Code project and do it.  Or just
do it now, after all it's free software...
