Well, if you don't mind looking up all the intrinsic ROM routine entry
points yourself, you could simply BLOAD the program (preferrably at its
normal load address) and:

]BLOAD PROGRAM,A$8000
]PR#1
*8000L

The Monitor ROM disassembler has exactly *zero* features for helping you
interpret the code, but at least it will turn opcodes into mnemonics. 
Beware!  If the program has some data storage in the middle, the
disassembler can get out of sync with the actual instructions.  A good way
to see when that is happening is when you start getting lines that show
??? in place of the mnemonic.

Alternatively, Sourceror ought to work (part of Merlin-8); try the DOS 3.3
version of Merlin.  Barring that, email me and I might have a suggestion
for you involving Sourceror from the Big Mac assembler (Big Mac is the
program which eventually became Merlin-8).
