After a quick check of the readme for SimpleMachines, you should be find as long as PHP and MySQL are supported.
From the readme:
Your server must meet a few requirements to be able to run SMF. If you unsure as to whether your webserver meets these, please try the installer - it should detect any problems.
* Any webserver that properly supports PHP, such as Apache or Internet Information Services (IIS).
* PHP 4.1.0 or higher. The following directives are required to be set correctly in php.ini:
* the engine directive must be On.
* the magic_quotes_sybase directive must be set to Off.
* the session.save_path directive must be set to a valid directory.
* the file_uploads directive must be On.
* the upload_tmp_dir must be set to a valid directory.
* MySQL 3.23.4 or higher.
* at least 512 kilobytes of storage space in the database, although more is highly recommended.
* about two and a half megabytes of storage space on the web server, although more is recommended.
Recommendations for best performance:
* Linux or another Unix based operating system.
* the GNU Aspell and its dictionaries for spell checking support.
* Apache with AcceptPathInfo set to On (Apache 2 and later only) for queryless URL support.
* PHP 4.3.0 or higher, with the following set in php.ini:
* the max_input_time directive is set to a value of at least 30.
* the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize directives are set to the size of the largest attachments you wish to be able to upload.
* the session.use_trans_sid directive set to Off.
* the memory_limit directive is set to at least 8M.
* the max_execution_time directive is set to at least 15.
* the register_globals directive is set to Off.
* MySQL 4.0.15 or higher with query caching enabled.
* GD Graphics Library 2.0 or higher.
