A full version of Smalltalk is available for the Mega-ST from George Heeg, Inc.
in Germany.  I'm not sure, but you could possibly also buy it from
Parc Place Systems in the US (Parc Place Systems is the Xerox offshoot
that markets Smalltalk).  Presumably it would run on a standard ST with
appropriate memory.

As far as Little Smalltalk goes, I've got version 2.02 partially ported.
Little Smalltalk doesn't have graphics, windowing, etc. though.
