It should be possible to run the server on that hardware, right now the memory consumption is about 50 MB for one user, and the sources are quite ripe for this to be tinkered with - limit the number of active chunks per player etc. so technically we could tweak it to fit on the RPi. But until one of the devs actually gets the device and the toolchain, we can't really say anything.
If you want to try to build on virtual RPi-hardware you should check out the following page which has a 3 part tutorial on the subject: http://russelldavis.org/category/raspberrypi-2/
(Russel Davis aka ukscone is _very_ active on the RaspberryPi Forums. He was the one who tried compiling MCS but ran into issues. He didn't overcome the issues
but stated that they seemed easy to fix for a C++ developer.)
