I have a compile-to-C version of Liszt that I developed a number of
years ago and (together with some other people) I've recently made
Franz Lisp work in 386BSD.  So, although I don't have time to do it
myself right now, this version of Franz should be fairly easy to
port to Sparcs and to random "Berkeley Unix" machines in general.
If there is any interest in this, I will try to make the sources
available fairly soon.
