I'm currently focusing on making everything work well on LispWorks before considering porting to other CL implementations. That's in general a good approach: First make things work well in one CL implementation, and worry about portability later. Portability is quite easy to achieve at a late stage with Lisp, but may distract you too much from the important concepts initially.
