Yes, you'll need the Monticello loaded. It would be nice to have a no-UI programmatic core-library version of MC, but there's no such beast right now. 

To load from an FTP server, you'll want something like this:

| repository |
repository := MCFtpRepository
	host: 'dns323.local'
	directory: 'monticello'
	user: 'roz'
	password: 'roz'.

(repository versionFromFileNamed: 'package-name.XXX.mcz') load.
