In principle it might be possible, but unlikely in practice. The 
different Lisps have different conventions
for representation of data, stacks, etc. Usually.

It is possible to change the characteristics of a single compiler on a 
local basis to use different optimizations.
This is quite routine for some Lisp systems -- to compile speed-critical 
parts with "higher optimization"
but other parts with more error checking etc.
