Install
/usr/ports/lang/cmucl
/usr/ports/lang/cmucl-extra
/usr/ports/editors/emacs
/usr/ports/editors/slime

And you'll get a fast and reliable Common Lisp compiler, some extras 
like an debugger, an editor, an IDE or suchlike for handy Lisp 
development using emacs and a compiler of your choice.

/usr/ports/lang/cmucl
Can be substituted for 
/usr/ports/lang/sbcl

But I like cmucl just fine. You'll fine it has much better support for 
e.g. CLOS than clisp has.
