I heartily recommend OpenCV's highgui module. I've used this on Mac OS
X and Linux for interfacing with various cameras with very little
trouble, and written bindings to it for other languages. I haven't
done so for Racket, but the C API is extremely friendly, so it's just
a matter of cobbling together the necessary Racket FFI bits. It works
great with the built-in iSight camera.

Here's a relevant place in the OpenCV documentation:
