If 'install' means compile, copy & run, then yes, you can.
mplayer, fbreader and others are just linux apps compiled for Kindle.

Is there a how-to on this somewhere? A list of apps that play nice? A better browser for example (I'm typing this on my Kindle)?

The user interface is the problem.
Kindle doesn't have an X server so you cannot normally run GUI apps (it is only possible to compile apps utilizing Qt somehow, e.g. fbreader). TUI apps don't need an X server but they need a visible terminal controlled by Kindle keyboard. And that's what fbterm could provide.
