I take back the part about being able to just copy over all the source to /usr/local. Unfortunately, maxima has hardcoded paths in the binary to the place where it was compiled and it would take some scrounging around in some very old baroque non-ansi lisp code to make it look both in /usr/local and /usr/ports/math/maxima. If macsyma isn't legacy code, I don't know what is.
