Hi!

Good news: such a bundle already exists:
install Sage from
  http://sagemath.org/

It bundles a lot of open-source math software,
including maxima.

Once Sage is installed, you can just add
  /Applications/sage/local/bin
to your path so that you can call all these
bundled programs, and you'll also be able
to use them in TeXmacs.
