There's something that comes with scheme-to-C (which I think is
written in scheme), and there's also Lars Thomas Hansen's ffigen
(http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/~lth/ffigen/), but the parser isn't written
in lisp - it uses a modified version of lcc to output the scheme code
for the foreign function interface.

The bigloo stuff is nice because it comes with a reasonably nice lex &
yacc written in scheme, the C parser is written in scheme using
bigloo's lex & yacc, and it has a decent compiler.  I've been using it
to parse Pascal header files and output readers & writers for all the
declared types.
