It's not explicitly stated, and the implementations I tested on don't so I think NCONC is out.
For SLIME patches I recommend using APPEND and generally endulging in writing easy/fun/cute code without caring a hoot about efficiency unless and until it's observably slow.
Be warned, I have a history of rewriting carefully optimised code to be more cutely inefficient whenever the actual speed difference isn't perceptible. Better to have the fun yourself :-)

P.S., I just got back from out of town and found more SLIME email than work email. There're a shirtload of us these days, very cool!
