 I just did that and it works but there is a problem with wxmaxima graphics (only draw a box). 
 Using the  gnuplot option it works ok.  I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 

P.D. These are the steps:

 sudo apt-get install wine
 winecfg
 get maxima-5.17.1.exe  from sourceforge
 copy maxima-5.17.1.exe to /home/yourname/.wine/drive_c
 wine "c:\Archivos de programa\Maxima-5.17.1.exe"
 wine "c:\Archivos de programa\wxMaxima\wxMaxima.exe"

 This can be useful to test new versions in Linux and Windows.
