I think you missed the point. There is not even (yet) a de facto standard for concurrency on lisps.
There are bordeaux-threads and portable-threads, and they mostly work, but I usually just fall-back on limiting my threading calls to a small number of functions and then manually adding #+ stuff to get it to work when I want to port to a new CL.
People really expect some form of threading/concurrency to be standardized across implementations.
The CL community has been occasionally successful in making new de-facto standards (Gray streams, ASDF, and to a lesser extent MOP), so there is hope.
