You will want to spend a little time looking at ASDF. When I was first looking at McCLIM, I just used ASDF without bother with the crypt to signature. If you're feeling brave, just hit "0" at the debugging prompt when the verify fails.

(require 'asdf)
(require 'asdf-install)

;;; All three of these steps will take a while.
(asdf-install:install :clx)
(asdf-install:install :spatial-trees)
(asdf-install:install :mcclim)

;;; This will take a good while, too.
(progn
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clx)
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'mcclim)      ; does name (clim-) masking
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-clx-user)
  ;(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-examples)     ; if you want them
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-listener))

Once this is done, future loading will be quicker. I have this function in my .sbclrc for easy start-up. I did try to save-lisp-and-die, but McCLIM doesn't quite revive correctly. Running the listener off such a core causes a segmentation-fault (on the Mac; didn't try Solaris).

;;; from my .sbclrc
(require 'asdf)

;;; (mcclim) 
(defun mcclim ()
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clx)
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'mcclim)      ; does name (clim-) masking
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-clx-user)
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clim-listener))

To start the listener and play around: (clim-listener:run-listener)
