How about going with OpenWatcom? I'd like to see max buildable with free tools.
 
FWIW, 95% of the work of getting it to run under OS/2 will be coming up
with a GNU Make Makefile to drive the compiler (and assembler). You can run
GNU Make and Bison under EMX with carefully-crafted default (implicit)
Makefile rules to run the OpenWatcom compiler (assuming it works from the
command line) to produce native OS/2 (w/o EMX) binaries. I have done
similar things under Cygwin/VC++ in the past, it produces a very
platform-portable code base + build environment.

PS: I forgot to mention; the original Maximus was built with Watcom C
1.0-and (I think) MASM or TASM. The UNIX code body does not require any
assembler, but the other platforms do.
