But it should be possible to port David Betz's XLISP (granted, a subset,
but you've got to start somewhere) to OS-9, it's written in C.
All you have to do is replace the OS-specific calls.  (Since there's XLISP
for Unix, this might not be too hard.)

I've also heard rumors of a LISP system written in Pascal as well.
