I think it may be faster to just port, though are there larger libraries that Arc depends on in Racket that you'd also have to significantly port?

I honestly have no idea. I think I remember reading that Arc may also be pinned to a somewhat old version of Racket / PLT Scheme. I could be misremembering though.

Depending on how portable Arc is to new versions of Racket, I'd guess they could move to a new Chez-backeneded Racket without any need to port.

Arc works fine on newer versions of Racket using the MzScheme legacy language bindings.
