The clisp port used to have a +dynffi variant which provided this functionality. It was added in 2006 when the port was updated to version 2.37. It was removed without explanation in 2009 when the port was updated to 2.48.

Perhaps the explanation is that the commit message for the update to 2.48 mentions Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard was the first version of Mac OS X to compile 64-bit by default, and as of today the ffcall port still compiles only 32-bit. I will be updating the ffcall port to version 1.13 which will build for 64-bit so perhaps then it will be possible to reenable this functionality in clisp.

Actually that explanation doesn't make sense, because the same commit forced clisp to build 32-bit, so it would not have cared that ffcall was also 32-bit.

In e0824b4d62f62ef1967237680cc607a7faa873b8/macports-ports (master):

clisp: update to 2.50.0-20230212

I've also enabled asdf, and this update includes fixes for build on
arm64.

Thus, I've hardcode MacPorts XDG_DATA_DIRS and add myself as
co-maintainer.

Threads? It is unstable but let keep it as variant.

And seems that dynamic-ffi works fine with last version of libffcall.
