Hello,

I don't know if the code shipped with PLT is really that portable. But 
there is a lexer generator, called silex, available for CHICKEN on the 
eggs page 
(http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/eggs/index.html#parsing).

This should be possible too, as CHICKEN has a good foreign function 
interface.
