I guess (although I don't know this specific model) the problem is that
the laptop does not have a gameport. Otherwise you could use serial,
paralell or usb midi interfaces.

most of them are ok ask again when you have specific models or requirements
in mind

someone (Karl ?) did a bsd port some time ago, I compiled pd in summer on
a freebsd box basically by changing the endianess isues to 'it's like NT'
but you'll lose alsa and (maybe) usb midi support.
hope that helps,
