This one http://www.karakas-online.de/downloads/chm2pdf-0.9.tar.gz needs htmldoc, chmlib, pychm and python to work - some efforts needed I guess ;)

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

If you already have Firefox, there's a "chm reader" extension.  I use it as the MS one does not allow font size adjustments.

xchm, chmsee and gnochm are the ones that I know about. All depend on libchm; afaik xchm is based on wxwidget, chmsee on gtk+ and gnochm on python-gtk+. And iirc, gnochm renders best.

Kchmviewer, despite its name, does not necessarily depend upon the KDE libs and can be built as a standalone Qt app. (Also depends on libchm.)
