I'm trying to find a way to work with vector calculus in spherical
coordinates. I know the typical operators are contained in the vect package,
but I haven't found a way to make them work with coordinates other that
cartesian.

You might have a look at chapter 6, Maxima by Example, Differential
Calculus,
sections 6.8, 6.9, and 6.10, which does vector calculus calculations in
several
coordinate systems using my package vcalc.mac, all available free of
