I'm not sure what you mean.
You can override the libraries in Quicklisp by putting your own
libraries in e.g. ~/quicklisp/local-projects/.
You can use other dists, too, but unfortunately that is not documented
yet. The code and infrastructure are in place but without some
instruction it's not all that useful.
Actually I mean the dists, but the idea is to have API for adding repositories, which work simultaneously, thus it'd need some conflict resolver or namespaces.
aside: And I'm just missing the documentation how to use it.

The API exists, see ~/quicklisp/quicklisp/dist.lisp. Conflicts are
resolved according to a user-settable "preference" value, which is just
an integer; higher preferences are loaded before lower preferences. The
granularity of preferences can be individual systems, releases, or
entire dists.
