>What LISP implementations exist for BSDI 2.1?

I assume you mean Common Lisp.

Look for GCL (GNU Common Lisp) and Clisp, there should run with no
problems. See the Lisp FAQ for pointers. If you can't compile such a
system by yourself, ask be for binaries, maybe I can help.

If you're after performance, you might try CMU Common Lisp, the
FreeBSD version is very likely to run on BSDI as well. If you actually
try, please keep me updated. 

CMUCL for x86 pointer:
