Another option would be GTK. It is quite portable and while I haven't checked out the GTK libraries for Common Lisp, but as GTK is a pure C-based API, binding to it from other languages is very easy, so good bindings should be available. Personally, I have been using GTK3 via Go on Linux/Mac.

And for Common Lisp, there is of course LTk, it is extremely portable, but you have to live with the Tk UI toolkit (which got a pretty native look in the meantime).

Gtk itself is poorly documented for non-trivial examples, and doesn't seem all that stable across the years.

Qt on the other hand is well documented, and reasonably stable over the years.
