It works:
chronos@localhost ~/bin $ fossil version
This is fossil version 1.30 [ee46563cbd] 2014-08-15 12:46:27 UTC
This is on an Asus C200M:
$ uname -a
Linux localhost 3.10.18 #1 SMP Thu Aug 7 11:19:20 PDT 2014 x86_64
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2830 @ 2.16GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
You have to switch the Chromebook into developer mode at minimum to make
this work, since that's the only way to unlock it far enough to get a
Bash command shell.
Having done that, unless you can get your binaries from a build machine
elsewhere, you then need to get build tools, a package manager, etc. on
it. The easiest way to do that is to install Ubuntu via Crouton:

Once that's done, "apt-get install fossil" will get you a copy of 1.27,
which you can use to bootstrap yourself onto the trunk.
To run the resulting fossil binary outside the Crouton chroot box, you
need to build it as a static binary, since the libssl shipped by Google
isn't the same version as in Ubuntu 14.04. (I guess you could instead
try and find a Linux distro compatible with Crouton that uses a
binary-compatible version of OpenSSL.)
Once you have a fossil binary built inside the Crouton chroot box, you
need to start sshd, then scp the binary out, to /usr/local/bin. The
destination is important because even in developer mode, there's some
sandboxing that prevents other persistently-writable locations from
running executables.
"fossil ui" doesn't manage to create a Chrome tab, unfortunately.
Running it as
$ /opt/google/chrome/chrome http://path/to/my/fossil/repo
breaks the Chromebook UI.
"fossil server" does work, though.
