And as usually happens, after asking I seem to found solution myself. Two things to be done:

  1. Make new file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch containing one line only:

    foreign-architecture armel

  2. Add [arch=armel] into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list like this:

    deb [arch=armel] http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu precise main

Now "apt-get update" was able to fetch all he needs.

And stuck again. There is no ROS packages to install with apt-get install :(. Nothing shown in install instructions works for ARM.

Willow Garage is not currently building any binary packages for ARM, so you shouldn't expect to find any with apt-get. You could try installing from source, but many things will likely be broken on ARM. Was there someplace on the wiki that led you to believe ARM packages should be available?

Wiki says ubuntu is OK and I do have ubuntu. Also as indicated I found some armel directory and assumed I just do something wrong.
