I've managed to get McClim installed and running on debian with cmucl

think it has more to do with the preconceptions about what a GUI
toolkit is and how GUI programs are structured (I've been developing
GUI's with wxWindows, GTK, and Tk).

Pardon a non-responsive response, but why do you want to use McClim or any form of Clim? Most of us are using Tk, Gtk, wxWindows, or implementation-specific GUIS that work just like the ones you are used to. Clim never really caught on.
