Yes. The file perltestdata in Edi Weitz's http://weitz.de/files/cl-ppcre.tar.gz 
 contains a big PCRE stress test (15,000 tests) already formatted for  
lisp.

Every line of the file contains a s-expr with the following fields:
- numeric id
- the test in perl syntax, for cross-language benchmarking
- the regular expression under test
- case-insensitive?
- multi-line?
- single-line?
- verbose?
- target string
- error-expected?
- expected-match
- expected-registers

Just remember to (define t #t) and (define nil #f) or such ;-]
