Currently Slime + Emacs is a good bet.

Portable Hemlock or the CMUCL version? If the latter then I'd suggest
asking cmucl-help for advice. Anyways, I'd definitely recommend Slime over
Hemlock in a terminal -- unless you're interested in hacking the editor
itself that is, in which case Hemlock is likely to be infinitely more
rewarding.
