Some hacking will be necessary, I'm afraid.

In addition, Rapid Scheme is a preprocessor that translates full R7RS including libraries and syntax-rules macros into a reduced R5RS-like form of R7RS, so at most it might be necessary to add some replacements for specific R5RS procedures.  It has already been used to R7RS-ify Gambit.
