I'm trying to make use of a language binding for Common LISP and
OSF/Motif called CLM.  Supposedly, under it, you can make any sort of
graphical X application.  It's part of something called the GINA project
(which I haven't looked into yet) that is supposed to be an application
framework for graphical interfaces under LISP using CLM.  I've only
been working with it for a couple of weeks now, and haven't gotten that
far into it yet.

You can read more about it and find links to it at 

http://www-cgi.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/gui/clm/0.html

I don't know about 3d graphical support, though.  It seems like you might
need to build external functions in OpenGl and link them into allegro.

Good luck!
