WARNING:  I haven't made a Midibox64, have only looked briefly at the layout and at the IR sensor.

It should be possible to hook the output of the Sharp GP2D12 sensor to one of the 64 analog inputs.  From what I've read, the output is roughly between 0.4V and 2.45V.  

You would probably need to do some scaling for your device inside of MIOS before transmitting it via MIDI - otherwise you will probably only transmit MIDI values from 10 to 62 or so (again, I'm not sure, just guessing here).

Sensor analog output --> Midibox analog input

But scaling is needed.

Where do you want to use it for?

Continuous distance --> analog needed

Two steps -> First analog to digital converter. Have the right digital output pin(s) connected to some Digital input (Din).
