Hello,

Since several months, the Motsognir gopher server is totally compatible 
with ARM, too.

Installing it is as easy as:
# make
# make install

No dependencies, no xinetd, no interpreted scripting. Runs out of the 
box (I am using it on a few Raspberry boxes with Raspbian myself).

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/motsognir/

cheers,
Mateusz
