So just loading swank in that other lisp, and starting a swank sever:

    (swank:create-server :port 4005) ; in CL

you can then connect to it from emacs with M-x slime-connect RET RET RET

You can even do some kind of "RPC" (Remote Procedure Call) in both
directions (trivial from slime, have a look at [1] to evaluate emacs lisp
expressions from the other lisp).
