Maxima seems to work fine without gnuplot-x11 on Etch. The function is
plotted in the "dumb" terminal. Here are the packages I have.

$dpkg -l gnuplot\* maxima\*
pn  gnuplot        <none>         (no description available)
pn  gnuplot-doc    <none>         (no description available)
ii  gnuplot-nox    4.0.0-5        A command-line driven interactive plotting
pn  gnuplot-x11    <none>         (no description available)
ii  maxima         5.10.0-6       A computer algebra system -- base system
ii  maxima-doc     5.10.0-6       A computer algebra system -- documentation
ii  maxima-share   5.10.0-6       A computer algebra system -- extra code
