The issue here is that we rename the clisp binary to clisp-bin - at
least that is what Maxima is looking for. You need a little wrapper
script or clisp as well as clisp.bin like
#!/bin/sh
"$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/clisp.bin" -B "$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/clisp-2.46"
"$@"
and adjust the path and binary name for your install. You can also
change the maxima.spkg to use clisp instead of clisp.bin as a binary
name.

In so many words: clisp sucks and we will hopefully switch to ecl in
the next (3.2) release. We just upgraded Maxima so that it can be
build with ecl in 3.1.2 - which will be out this week. 3.2 will then
follow in about another two weeks.
