For Inferno, look at:

http://code.google.com/p/inferno-scheme

It's best considered embryonic, and has been that way
for a little while as I've been side-tracked by some other
things.  It's strictly an interpreter at this point, so it's
going to be relatively slow.  But on the upside, it's got
an implementation of popen so that you can fire off
other programs for it to talk to.  If that external command
is tkcmd, then you can easily do graphical stuff.

I do plan to get back to it before long and give it some
form of compiler and as part of that implement continuations
and proper tail recursion.
