Not especially. Pi uses a Cog/Spur VM by default, thus you would need to pay more attention to the github sources and the VMMaker image stuff you will find at https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm

Obviously the plain interpreter vm can be built for ARM since it merely uses gcc etc to build the executable; but it’s a *lot* slower than the CogSpur vm. Trust me; I’ve been doing Smalltalk on ARM for … ouch, 32 years.
