Not really.  ECL and GCL are cousins (from the old Kyoto CL code base)
and are both GPL.  CLiCC is GPL, unmaintained, and supports only a "large
subset" of CLtL1.  ThinLisp is Apache, but it's also unmaintained and
supports only a subset.

The good news is that CMUCL and SBCL (which is a slowly diverging fork of
CMUCL), at least according to Weinreb's latest (now last, alas!) survey
at <http://common-lisp.net/~dlw/LispSurvey.html>, have MIPS backends
for their native compilers.  How well maintained they are I don't know.
