 I said
 > sudo port -v install maxima +clisp
 to cause maxima to be built on top of clisp, rather than on top of sbcl
 which is the default (claips and sbcl are two different implementations of
 common lisp).
 However, the very next line said
 --->  Fetching sbcl
 and sbcl was built. This does not seem right. There is no need for sbcl if
 the clisp variant is used.

 Note that on running maxima, it does indeed seem to be based on clisp, not
 sbcl, as expected:
 > Maxima 5.15.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
 > Using Lisp CLISP 2.43 (2007-11-18)
