Jan, there is a hidden directory named ".maxima" in 
my home directory, I created filemaxima-init.mac in it. 
It has two lines:

gnuplot_command:
"/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot"$

set_plot_option([gnuplot_term, x11])$

It seems that whenever I invoke maxima, XQuartz (serves as X11)
will launch too.
