I have no idea. Many years ago, I ported to ocaml bytecode interpreter to some sort of Cray (I forgot the details). That was quite simple (IIRC, just some #ifdef to add somewhere).
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Gene each processor is a PowerPC variant. Since PowerPC is supported by Ocaml (I don't know if it is the old 32 bits variant or the 64 bits one), I could imagine that even the native compiler could run on it, and I guess the difference between Blue Gene and other PowerPC (perhaps AIX machines) is mostly minor operating system things. But as usual, the evil is in the details.
I just hope your port will be available to others, just in case.
Good luck.
Cheers.
