Talk to Franz, Inc. directly - their code runs on suns, and their
Franz Extended Common Lisp (now, Allegra (sp?) Common Lisp) does too.
It might not be necessary to change your code at all.

Further, you should be aware that Sun Common Lisp (presently Lucid)
is about to change to be based on Allegra - from Franz, and that might
make a difference too.  I have not tried to convert any Franz code
to Franz Extended Common code, but I take the 'Extended' to say that
there are (probably) remnants of the Franz Lisp code on which you
may build.  

Summary:  Talk to Franz, Inc. before you do anything more.
