Chromium uses WINE. It will only work on x86-32, and AMD64.

Even if it did have one, it would be a build time dependency and I think people have built with Wine on non x86 platforms. The Darwine project comes to mind.

Darwine used Qemu or something.
Chromium is currently 32-bit x86 only. As such, it requires several 32-bit libraries to compile and run. While it is possible to compile and run on 64-bit Linux, many distributions are missing the necessary 32-bit libraries, and will result in build or run-time errors. See the 64-bit build notes for more info.

I wonder how much architecture specific code Chromium has...
Edit: Javascript JIT would be probably the main issue

The problem is really those Linux/x86-32 binaries. Unless your goal is to run Windows/x86 application on Linux/ARM only the QEMU part is relevant. Using QEMU as host CPU ARM is in Testing phase and there would be quite some overhead.
Google's JS JIT V8 is ported to ARM/Linux. Other JITs used by Mozilla/Gecko such as Tamarin and Tracemonkey are ported to ARM.

There were some people hacking around with running the Windows version of Chrome under Wine in Linux, but the developer preview appears to be a native build. The lack of native 64-bit binary appears to be for some pretty good technical reasons, but probably isn't out of the picture if someone provides pathces.
