Probably. <srfi-hash-table> isn't mentioned in the SRFI document.

This seems to work:

(import (srfi :69)) ; same as (require 'srfi-69)
(import (kawa hashtable))  ; srfi-69 is implemented on top of this.
(instance? (make-hash-table) hashtable) ; => t

Alternatively you could do

(import (rename (only (kawa hashtable) hashtable)
                (hashtable <srfi-hash-table>)))

which only imports the binding for "hashtable" but renamed to
"<srfi-hash-table>".

Of course, using hash-table? instead of instance? would have the benefit
of being more portable.
