It should.  I've run 64-bit Gentoo Linux on the Raspberry Pi 3 before.
Compiling on-device can be a bit painful (and some of the larger packages,
like Chromium, won't build in 1 GB RAM), but I would build software under
emulation on a more powerful host and sync binary packages over for
installation.
