There could be some unofficial prebuild binaries.

Anyway, it is always possible to install Maxima from sources (.tar.gz).
Get one of the supported Lisp implementations:
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/lisp.html
Then download a .tar.gz with Maxima:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4933
See the file called "INSTALL" at the root of .tar.gz.
It should be easy:
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install
