Yes, it can.  The buildfarm stuff is all push from the test machine's
side, not pull.  You basically configure a cron job as described in
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto and then
register your animal with the form on
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/register-form.pl

Would be great. We have a bunch of 32bit arm animal, but no 64bit ones:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl
