Yes, iPXE is capable of using the UNDI/NII or SNP protocols provided by 
the UEFI platform firmware.  It can also use its own native driver 
(which will usually be faster), if available.

To build, use

   make bin-arm64-efi/ipxe.efi

or

   make bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi

If you are cross-compiling then you will need to specify your 
cross-compilation prefix.  For example, to build an ARM64 binary on an 
x86_64 Fedora distro:

   make bin-arm64-efi/ipxe.efi CROSS=aarch64-linux-gnu
