The second edition of SICP uses IEEE Scheme (basically R4RS Scheme) and pretty much every Scheme implementation supports R4RS -- s9fes from http://www.t3x.org/s9fes/ certainly supports it. It doesn't support rational or complex numbers but as I recall no example in SICP relies on those. Killing parens won't make you an adult :-)
