Why not make var a macro?
Put
@macro var{bar}
Format how we want it \bar\ finish
@end macro
in maxima.texi, and we can format variables however we want.
("bar" here is irrelevant, this will work for @var{this}, @var{that},
etc.)

@end macro
would work, or perhaps
@ifinfo
@macro var{bar}
<\bar\>
@end macro
@end ifinfo
