To my best knowledge the only way to test anything on M1 is to buy one. As far 
as I know there is no virtual solution yet. If you see one, let me know.

As for CRAN there is no official arm64 build yet - the hardware just arrived 
and I need to setup the nightly builds first before moving to packages. 
However, Brian Ripley has run a first pass over all packages to give authors 
chance to look at what breaks on the new architecture - it is listed on the 
check page in the additional checks section.
