is there any way to enable chatter only to specific profiles?

At max you can restrict Chatter app to be visible from profiles. But still a section will be visible at the top of Home page.

No, it's global to an org.

I figured out how to do this with a minimum of customization.  First, hide the Chatter tab from those profiles you want to disable chatter from.  Secondly, create a sidebar home page component as follows, and add it to the Home Page Layout of any profiles you want to disable chatter from.

 

<style type="text/css"> .metadata{ display: none; } </style>

 

This works because the name of the class on every page where a chatter feed is present is 'metadata'.  You can add CSS or javascript to a side bar component, and it acts on every page.

 

You may also need to put in some javascript to prevent the user from going to his/her User Profile Page.
