OpenBSD/sparc64 works great for me. Framebuffer support was flakey in
3.0-release but is supposedly getting better in current. I haven't
checked as I'm using serial console.

In the ports tree are:
    ANSI Common LISP http://clisp.cons.org/
    Scheme R5 http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SCM.html

The first won't build on Sparc64 or PowerPC. The second will.
