Install Pacman on non-arch system

Heya. I'm running a server that's hosting an arch repo, but the server itself isn't running arch. I was wonderin' if it was possible to install basic commands like repo-add and pacman, so I can manage the repo from the server, instead of having to manage it on my local comp and upload everything. Anyone know if this is possible?

Yes, just build pacman from source on the server.
