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.
