Gary Byers [MCL PPC compiler hall of fame] has done the LinuxPPC port
of CMUCL for NASA/JPL internal use. But he said the port is done with older
CMUCL on old LinuxPPC and that updating it to the current CMUCL and PPC
linux is significant task. I'm not sure anyone working on it.
see the details at Deja/Google:

He said he has also done the MCL port to PPC VxWorks, PPC Linux and
Solaris/Sparc for NASA. These are going to be the LGPLd source of MCL
kernel/compiler.
