You can implement your own, prettu easily with deftype.
However it can be tedious to track every methods, so we need a repl helper
function to scaffold the code for us.

(defn scaffold [iface]
  (doseq [[iface methods] (->> iface .getMethods
                            (map #(vector (.getName (.getDeclaringClass %))
                                    (symbol (.getName %))
                                    (count (.getParameterTypes %))))
                            (group-by first))]
    (println (str "  " iface))
    (doseq [[_ name argcount] methods]
      (println
        (str "    "
          (list name (into ['this] (take argcount (repeatedly
gensym)))))))))

user=> (scaffold clojure.lang.IPersistentMap)
  clojure.lang.IPersistentMap
    (assoc [this G__441 G__442])
    (without [this G__443])
    (assocEx [this G__444 G__445])
  java.lang.Iterable
    (iterator [this])
  clojure.lang.Associative
    (containsKey [this G__446])
    (assoc [this G__447 G__448])
    (entryAt [this G__449])
  clojure.lang.IPersistentCollection
    (count [this])
    (cons [this G__450])
    (empty [this])
    (equiv [this G__451])
  clojure.lang.Seqable
    (seq [this])
  clojure.lang.ILookup
    (valAt [this G__452 G__453])
    (valAt [this G__454])
  clojure.lang.Counted
    (count [this])
nil

Now you need to remove the duplicates (count and assoc), wrap everything in
a deftype form and implement it:
(including a new protocol fn to reverse a bidi map)

(defprotocol ReversibleMap
  (rmap [m]))

(defn- rdissoc [d r v]
 (if-let [[_ k] (find r v)] (dissoc d k) d))

(deftype Bimap [^clojure.lang.IPersistentMap direct reverse]
  Object
  (hashCode [x]
    (.hashCode direct))
  (equals [x y]
    (.equals direct y))
  clojure.lang.IPersistentMap
    (without [this k]
      (Bimap.
        (dissoc direct k)
        (rdissoc reverse direct k)))
    (assocEx [this k v]
      (if (or (contains? direct k) (contains? reverse v))
        (throw (Exception. "Key or value already present"))
        (assoc this k v)))
  java.lang.Iterable
    (iterator [this]
      (.iterator direct))
  clojure.lang.Associative
    (assoc [this k v]
      (Bimap.
        (assoc (rdissoc direct reverse v) k v)
        (assoc (rdissoc reverse direct k) v k)))
    (containsKey [this k]
      (contains? direct k))
    (entryAt [this k]
      (find direct k))
  clojure.lang.IPersistentCollection
    (cons [this x]
      (if-let [[k v] (and (vector? x) x)]
        (assoc this k v)
        (reduce (fn [m [k v]] (assoc m k v)) this x)))
    (empty [this]
      (.empty direct))
    (equiv [this x]
      (.equiv direct x))
  clojure.lang.Seqable
    (seq [this]
      (seq direct))
  clojure.lang.ILookup
    (valAt [this k else]
      (direct k else))
    (valAt [this k]
      (direct k))
  clojure.lang.Counted
    (count [this]
      (count direct))
  ReversibleMap
    (rmap [this]
      (Bimap. reverse direct)))

(defn bimap [& kvs]
  (reduce (fn [m [k v]] (assoc m k v)) (Bimap. {} {}) (partition 2 kvs)))

Some quick tests:
user=> (assoc (bimap :a 1 :b 2) [:c 3] [:d 4] [:e 5])
{[:e 5] nil, [:c 3] [:d 4], :b 2, :a 1}
user=> (assoc (bimap :a 1 :b 2) :c 3 :d 4 :e 5)
{:e 5, :d 4, :c 3, :b 2, :a 1}
user=> (assoc (bimap :a 1 :b 2) :c 3 :d 2 :e 5)
{:e 5, :d 2, :c 3, :a 1}
user=> (dissoc *1 :d)
{:e 5, :c 3, :a 1}
user=> (rmap *1)
{5 :e, 3 :c, 1 :a}
user=> (assoc *1 2 :c)
{2 :c, 5 :e, 1 :a}

hth,
