If linux *kernel* can be made to run on it - yes.
Busybox requires kernel and nothing more.

If you'll build it statically, you can have just one file
(busybox executable) on a filesystem (or in initramfs)
and still be able to boot the machine. This assumes that
kernel is not on this filesystem (for example, netbooting).
