Chicken and Gambit are the most portable "big" Scheme implementations. 
Both come with a Scheme->C compiler and a separate Scheme interpreter. 
With luck, it's possible to port them to Plan 9 with modest effort. 
People have built recent versions of Chicken with compilers smaller than 
GCC and Clang (it was probably tcc). Gambit should be able to target 
ANSI C. Both implementations use "green threads".

s9fes and Chibi-Scheme are featherweight by comparison, as is 
TinyScheme. All probably easy to port to Plan 9.

s7 is another small interpreter that ships in one .c file and is 
actively maintained. Possibly also easy to port.
