I'm trying to fix a mode using comint for an inferior lisp that
apparently needs to overwrite comint-send-region. I'd rather it not
overwrite ALL buffers' (including my shell-mode buffer) comint-send-
region function.
Is there a way to define a function but local to the current buffer as
when you define a local variable in make-local-variable?

I don't know very well how buffer-local variables work, but I don't
think you can locally bind an elisp function. A workaround can be to use
a local variable, then set it to a lambda expression, then call the
function with funcall.

Thanks! This will work. It seems hackish, but it will work!

Not really, but you can get the same effect like this:
(defadvice comint-send-region (around inferior-lisp-mode activate)
"In Inferior Lisp mode, call `inferior-lisp-send-region' instead."
(if (eq major-mode 'inferior-lisp-mode)
(apply 'inferior-lisp-send-region (ad-get-args 0))
ad-do-it))
