I may still be the best option, though. The best option on arch is probably pandoc-static in the AUR. It pulls in the very large ghc as a build dependency. However, this can be removed after the build. Still, pandoc-static is 118 MB on my machine. (That's bigger than emacs itself). In an ideal world, citeproc-js + node would be the most portable. However, as others have pointed out, the lack of a good converter from bibtex to citeproc's json format is a drawback. By contrast, pandoc-citeproc offers both a converter and a CSL implementation.
