Outputs on an x86_64 machine with x86_64 Parabola, x86_64 virtual machine with i686 BLAG and mips64 machine with Parabola (mips64el) suggest it being ok (for x86_64 it will tell that there is a 64-bit "CPU op-mode", for most other architectures just the "Architecture" field obviously states what's needed). Practically all non-embedded distros have util-linux, the 2.15-rc1 release is the first one including lscpu (easy to check using git). Not all free distros have it in the newest official stable release, gNewSense 2.3 probably has an older one since Ubuntu Hardy has (although it's easy to use uname -m and /proc/cpuinfo in such cases, like lscpu internally does).
