This is probably a bad idea unless you have another syntax in mind for 
sin(x), which usually does not mean sin*x.

Mathematica does this,  requiring the user to type Sin[x].

Is that what you want?

It is certainly possible to write another parser for Maxima.  Or use the 
Mathematica parser written in Lisp that I've posted, or that someone 
else posted on sourceforge (Mockmma).
