I don't have to try it.  I know it won't work with asdf.

Why?  Because maxima.system is for mk defsystem.  You'll find a copy of 
mk defsystem in maxima/lisp-utils.  Then (mk:defsystem "maxima" 
:compile) will compile and load up maxima.

I haven't tried this lately, but it used to work, and still ought to 
since that's how maxima is built.
