I am not a Unix wizard, and there seems some wizardry involved here.
On the Mac, maxima resides in 
/Applications/Maxima.App/Contents/Resources/maxima/bin

So the script maxima in /usr/local/bin which probably is the one called by 
TeXmacs
looks like this:
-=-=-=-=-=-

#!/bin/sh
# Gets the real path of a link, following all links
myreadlink() { [ ! -h "$1" ] && echo "$1" || \
  (local link="$(expr "$(command ls -ld -- "$1")" : '.*-> \(.*\)$')"; \
  cd $(dirname $1); \
  myreadlink "$link" | sed "s|^\([^/].*\)\$|$(dirname $1)/\1|"); }
# Returns the absolute path to a command, maybe in $PATH (which) or not.
# If not found, returns the same
whereis() { echo $1 | \
  sed "s|^\([^/].*/.*\)|$(pwd)/\1|;s|^\([^/]*\)$|$(which -- $1)|;s|^$|$1|"; } 
# Returns the realpath of a called command.
whereis_realpath() { local SCRIPT_PATH=$(whereis $1); \
  myreadlink ${SCRIPT_PATH} | \
  sed "s|^\([^/].*\)\$|$(dirname ${SCRIPT_PATH})/\1|"; } 
realdir() { local SCRIPT_PATH=$(whereis_realpath $1); dirname $SCRIPT_PATH ; }


ROOT=`realdir $0`
MAXIMA_PREFIX=$ROOT/maxima/
export MAXIMA_PREFIX



PATH="$MAXIMA_PREFIX/bin:$PATH"
export PATH

exec "$MAXIMA_PREFIX/bin/maxima" "$1" "$2" "$3" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" "$7" "$8" 
"$9"
