Well, turns out the tarball on SourceForge won't compile under FreeBSD.  I
must've compiled it from an earlier version, possibly from a CVS checkout.

$fetch http://flow.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/maximus/max-unix-3.03b.tar.gz
$fetch http://flow.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/maximus/max-3.03-etc.tar.gz
$tar zxf max-unix-3.03b.tar.gz
$tar zxf max-3.03-etc.tar.gz 
$cd maximus
$./configure

Testing your build environment..

Testing your version of GNU make: /usr/local/bin/gmake
 - Looks fine to me! (version 3.80)
Testing your C compiler..
 - Looks fine to me!
Determining platform endianness..
 - Chose LITTLE_ENDIAN
Testing size of stamp_combo..
 - Looks fine to me!

Configuration complete.
