I also tried to install directly to my N800 from their download screen on their website, but Application Manager wasn't able to handle it. I'd welcome other suggestions. I've already installed the mmpc front-end.
I'm not aware of an ARM port of mpd, but you might check the Debian ARMEL repos? See below. Honestly, there's not much benefit to running mpd on the tablet locally, the other audio players kind of outstrip it. mmpc is really meant to act as a front end for an mpd running on another computer.
