Not exactly.  Archs in Debian that compile without problems are:
  - x86-64
  - i386
  - powerpc
  - s390

Archs that don't compile are:
  - alpha
  - armel
  - hppa
  - ia64
  - mips
  - mipsel
  - sparc


The following page show a table with the Debian versions and the
emulated archs inside qemu.  Possibly the best emulated arch is MIPS.
Have Platinum Rating and is one of the affected archs.
