For a large number of sequences, the likelihood can be computed by felsensteins algorithm.
When applied to phylogeny estimation, the hypotheses that are examined represent alternative phylogenies and the data are the set of aligned sequences. Something like the sumtree utility from dendropy should do the trick. The more probable the sequences given the tree, the more the tree is preferred. This method depends on a complete and specified data set and a probabilistic model that describes the data. In phylogenetics, we can say, loosely, that the tree is part of the model, and so the likelihood is the probability of the data given the tree and the model.
