You can add maxima to `LaTeX-indent-environment-list' with a special
indentation function.

You can also add maxima to `font-latex-math-environments' so that its
content is fontified in the math face.  However, that doesn't cure the
problem of a $ needed to be closed again.

So probably you can work your way by having maxima in
`LaTeX-verbatim-environments-local' with a custom indentation function
in `LaTeX-indent-environment-list'.
