I don't speak for PLT Scheme, but I'll give you my educated guess: no.
This is not a core priority.  (Certainly isn't for any of the code
we've written at Brown.)

But all the code is public (and sitting on your filesystem).  Several
non-PLT people have made code contributions.  You are welcome to do so
in the form of porting and contributing back your ports.

But, as I pointed out earlier and SamTH reinforced, an awful lot of
code does make use of PLT-isms that do not translate to R6RS
(certainly much of the code written at Brown is of this form), and I
have no idea what you plan to do about those.  We sure don't, which is
why we have no plans to port.
