I'm been advised to pose my question to this list: is there anyone whom I can work with to get Node running on the Pi? I have the hardware and maybe a little time. I just don't know how to get started and how to work around the compile fails.

Hi,

The current version of Node (0.12) in the ports tree can only be
compiled for armv7hf and your rpi is only armv6(hf) (we don't have a
target for armv7hf anyway). I have WIP patches for the previous
version (0.10.35), I can dig them up and sent them to you if you want.
