is there any (quasi-portable) way to extract doc-strings for
individual class slots? The hyperspec is terse:

This standard prescribes no means to retrieve the documentation
strings for individual slots specified in a defclass form, but
implementations might still provide debugging tools and/or
programming language extensions which manipulate this
information. Implementors wishing to provide such support are
encouraged to consult the Metaobject Protocol for suggestions about
how this might be done.

Has any consensus been reached?
Even MOP doesn't specify anything to retrieve the slot
documentation:
http://www.lisp.org/mop/dictionary.html#slotd-mo-readers

That's incorrect. The MOP specifies that it should be possible to
retrieve the :documentation option for slot definition metaobjects via
documentation. See "Initialization of Slot Definition Metaobjects" in
the CLOS MOP spec.

Good. Sorry for the misleading assertion.
