Seems like you have to build it yourself. Fortunately it's very easy, 
since Eliot commits the generated sources to the svn repo. So you can 
build a CogVM/StackVM without VMMaker. Here is how:

"How to build the Cog Croquet VM on Unix
-------------------------------
1. Install the tools (gcc, X11-devel, etc (e.g. libpng, libX11 & libxt source))
2. Check out the following sources from svn (if you haven't already - if you're
    reading this in unixbuild its likely you've already got the sources)
      svn co http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/platforms
      svn co http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/src
      svn co http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/unixbuild
3. Open a shell, cd into the unixbuild/bld directory and execute
      ../../platforms/unix/config/configure CFLAGS="-g -O2 -msse2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -DITIMER_HEARTBEAT=1 -DNO_VM_PROFILE=1 -DCOGMTVM=0" LIBS=-lpthread
      make install prefix=WhereYouWantTheVmToGo
4. At the end of it you'll get a new VM in the path provided via -prefix"

Servers usually don't have X11, so it won't work. You better use -vm-display-null (and -vm-sound-null). Try squeak --help for further useful options (like tuning Cog).
