I can have a go at this, it's been some years since my last acl-compat port.  That said, I'm having some deadlines at work this month, so if anyone decides they want to have a go first, feel free.

In these glorious quicklisp times, I'll likely go with using bordeaux-threads and a portable socket library, and then gradually move the other implementations supported by acl-compat onto these libraries as well.  (The portableaserve tarball still contains ancient versions of puri, cl-regex and asdf because we went for a batteries-included approach, which isn't necessary anymore now.)
