I suggest
(define point (gl-float-vector (<calculate x>) (<calulate y>) ))
(glVertex2fv point)

I don't understand.

The philosophy behind gl.ss is to be as much like the C-language GL  
API as possible.  The philosophy behind sgl.ss is to present a more  
Scheme-like interface.  I would rather not have both of these  
interfaces, but each one has compelling reasons to exist.  I am  
hesitant to add a third interface option.

Enumeration constants in sgl.ss are handled thusly:

(require (prefix gl- (lib "sgl.ss" "sgl")))
(gl-begin 'quad-strip)

There are several examples of SGL usage in the collects tree:  
alpha.ss and gears.ss in collects/sgl/examples,
and the checkers, jewel, and gobblet games in collects/games.
Some of these use sgl.ss, and others use gl.ss.
