Package exists.
However it doesn't seem to be available for the architecture of your router.

You can try to build it yourself:

Yes i'm trying that: https://github.com/netbeast/docs/wiki/Cross-Compile-Nodejs-for-OpenWrt
but i don't know if it will work

Do you know what i have to put here for my arch?

ARCH="mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc"
TARCH="mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2"

and do i need to install nodejs dependencies before?

I think it fails to build for mips_24kc as it would be too big. It is over 5MB for x86....
