I know of no such R5RS-packages. If you decide to make such a project,
here are some things to consider:

   1) Different databases expect different SQL-syntax (sigh).
   2) Compile time errors are better than runtime errors.
      (which makes it tricky (read impossible) to implement
       it with syntax-rules only)
   3) The interface to the actual database is non-R5RS anyway.
