Yup. The procedure for extending the Maxima build system to another lisp
implementation has not yet been documented. I will document it as soon
as someone (a) cares and (b) is willing to try following the
instructions so that they can be debugged. That's why I have repeatedly
begged people who are interested in another lisp to ask us about it if
they are interested. The file README.lisps also asks people interested
in other ports to contact the developers. So far, nobody has taken me up
on it. In the meantime, there have been many other issues that are more
pressing.

Are you interested in working on Maxima for Allegro? That would be
great.

Best,
Jim
