This is cool. What I'd really like to do though is run some of the
clojure code belonging to the project during the build. I'm toying
with a webapp that runs on google appengine and I'd like to "bake"
some pages to produce static html/css/js files at build time using the
same templates and everything that the dynamic parts of the webapp
will use once it's deployed.

It looks like your clojure-maven-plugin is using the classloader of
the plugin class when running the clojure. Could it also add the
clojure source directories in there some how? Maybe using a new
URLClassLoader with the plugin classloader as the parent. This might
only work if it's running after the compile phase. Not sure of the
maven classloader intricacies here.
