I successfully ran chef-client on a raspberrypi which is an arm. So 
chef(-client) isn't depending on x86-platform.
Of course it could be that your flavour of linux isn't matched in the 
cookbooks (as it is with raspbian), but thats a problem that can also 
bite you on x86-distributions.

Have fun,
