No; nothing that I know of. 1. doesn't sound so bad to me.

Something like
(define-slime-contrib foo
(:swank-dependencies (bar "/path1/bar.lisp")))
that passes 'bar and "/path1/bar.lisp" to swank:swank-require would be
easy to implement.
Not sure if it's worth it, though. Especially as some people want to
get rid of swank:swank-require and replace everything with ASDF.
