Yes. This was one example that I pointed out that I don't know how to implement using the current maxima wrappers in Sage here (see the last email, section 1): http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/2308561f175a0674/ No one answered, which means the answer is probably not easy.
