I've run those three for years on gentoo, but I never utilized the
'helper' installation app for maintaining cmucl or slime.  It is not
difficult to compile your own cmucl, nor is it difficult (nowdays) to
manage your system.  You simply independently maintain your 'specials'
and check beforehand the system supplier updates.  Test systems are
handy, especially virtual ones.

Simple scripts can created cmucl

>cat BUILDER 
#!/bin/sh

src/tools/create-target.sh rmb-cmucl
src/tools/clean-target.sh  rmb-cmucl 
src/tools/build-world.sh   rmb-cmucl "lisp -core /usr/local/lib/cmucl/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core.builder"
