I have put copy of NAG version (as provided by Tim) at:
http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/prog/NAGcdrom.tar.bz2
One can see that this tarball contains working Axiom binary (for
i386 Linux). Also, it is possible to rebuild Axiom from the
included sources.
Note: the tarball builds algebra from the cached Lisp files. AFAICS
there is no support for automatic recompilation of algebra.
