What Yair said and...
I've run a NetBSD compute node in our test cluster alongside FreeBSD and Linux.
Once I get the pkgsrc (http://pkgsrc.org/) package updated and tested, it should be pretty simple to run a heterogeneous cluster.
Just deploy SLURM via the same pkgsrc snapshot on all nodes and you'll have essentially identical installations all around.
Pkgsrc supports just about any POSIX OS and architecture (some better than others, of course, with NetBSD and Linux at the top).

Hi, We have here a linux x86 submission node for a power8 compute nodes, where the slurmctld and slurmdbd are running on an altogether different freebsd x86 machine. So yes, it should work :) Just make sure all the daemons are the same version, and take notes of where the monitoring and maintenance scripts, and the plugins are running (i.e. with slurmd or slurmctld) so that they will be available and compatible with the proper architecture.
