A Factor maintainer or core developer will answer in more detail but the short 
answer is no, for now at least.

The long answer:

Factor's virtual machine is compiled to native machine code for a target 
platform -- currently, the target platforms are Intel's 32- and 64-bit 
x86-based architectures on Windows, Linux and MacOS, and PowerPC on Linux.

The compiler to build Factor (and subsequently build standalone Factor 
programs) is implemented using the 
[cpu.architecture](http://docs.factorcode.org/content/vocab-cpu.architecture.html)
 and other cpu.* vocabularies, which unfortunately do not include ARM support, 
because nobody with sufficient experience has written it yet.

Considering the timespans of Factor's minor version release cycle (4+ years on 
the upcoming 0.98 I believe?), I wouldn't be surprised to see it written for 
0.99 or even 1.0.
