I'm doing something similar but I'm not using the cm.sh script directly
(each package knows where things are so no probing is necessary). But I
just added compatibility links (thanks for the reminder) so that cm.sh
does load the cm binaries (which I'm storing in /usr/lib/cmucl/lib/cm/).

In my current scheme after you install cm-cmucl you type:
  /usr/bin/cm-cmucl
and you get the interpreter prompt with cm fully loaded. 
If you install the clm package (now separate) you can start clm alone
with:
  /usr/bin/clm-cmucl
Now, if you have both cm and clm installed and install cm-clm-cmucl then
typing
  /usr/bin/cm-cmucl
loads clm and then cm (and sets the cm package to use the clm package). 
Something similar is done with cmn. 
Or you could start /usr/bin/lisp and then type (require 'cm) to have it
loaded.
