We do not have a binary for AIX, so you will need to compile in yourself. Take a look at the following link which should help you accomplish this -

Here is another link to a KB article with examples for downloading and installing NRPE from source.
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515
There isn't any steps for compiling on AIX as we do not have access to an AIX server to create the documentation for installation of the Agent.

Once you compile the agent, then take a look at this document which outlines how to run through a wizard, to get the metrics setup -

Have you run into any specific errors? We have provided a few relevant links but we have no information from you on what is not working. Is the compilation failing? Did the configuration files get created improperly? Are you seeing issues with running checks via NRPE? Without more specifics as to what is not working, we are somewhat limited in the support we can provide.

As we are not AIX admins and don't have access to AIX servers for testing you will need to work with your AIX admins to get them installed.
Unless there is a specific RPM for a higher AIX version than V5.1 available you are always safe to use the AIX5L V5.1 version. AIX has excellent binary compatibility and therefore I intentionally use a rather early level of AIX5L V5.1 to build my packages. They should all run on later AIX versions with no problems. Exceptions to this rule are some very OS-version specific RPMs, e.g., GCC.
Taken from here:
http://www.perzl.org/aix/
These should work for you:
ftp://www.oss4aix.org/RPMS/nagios-nrpe/
ftp://www.oss4aix.org/RPMS/nagios-plugins/
Let us know if that works for you.
