There is implicit_plot is in share/contrib:

load(implicit_plot)$
implicit_plot(x^3-2*x*y+y^3, [x,-3,3], [y,-3,3])$

but I suggest, Mario's draw package
(http://www.telefonica.net/web2/biomates/maxima/gpdraw/) which has an
improved version of implicit_plot:

draw2d(implicit(x^3-2*x*y+y^3, x, -3, 3, y, -3, 3))$
