Cfengine certainly runs on AIX systems, just as it runs on pretty much anything UNIX-like. Its minimal dependencies translate into very high portability - it runs on anything from cell phones to underwater autonomous vehicles.
I don't have anything else to recommend, but I appreciate you're doing your due diligence in checking out your options. You could take a look at the Platform Support chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_configuration_management_software and just go down the AIX column. You also have an option from the vendor (enterprise software).
