Are you talking about <http://snow-fort.org/>? It's maintained by Alex 
Shinn of Chibi-Scheme fame. He does reply to email, but he is quite busy 
so it may take a while.

Again, not sure whether you are talking about <http://snow-fort.org/>. 
But if you are, all (or almost all) of that should be R7RS code, and 
should hence run in Chicken's R7RS mode. If a separate compatibility egg 
is needed, that's a sign of a problem that should be fixed upstream.

Some of the libs there contain Chibi-Scheme FFI stub files which would 
have to be ported to Chicken.

In case you are talking about the old Scheme Now! instead of snow-fort, 
IIRC most of those packages have been imported into snow-fort and/or 
some other, more modern package collection. Might want to diff the old 
snow and snow-fort package listings.
