I would like to be able to do an asdf load on bank-match and have it pull-in cl-ppcre

Your system definition for BANK-MATCH must /depend/ on CL-PPCRE:

(asdf:defsystem :bank-match ... :depends-on (:cl-ppcre))

attempt to load cl-ppcre via my defpackage

One day I will write a website about this...

Systems (that's what third-party libraries like ASDF are about) and packages (first-class objects defined by the ANSI standard) are not the same thing, in fact they are orthogonal concepts. You cannot load anything with a DEFPACKAGE form.
