If it is just metacity, I think this will do what you want (at least it does 
on the version of metacity with FC5):

(progn
   (x-send-client-message nil 0 nil
			 "_NET_WM_STATE"
			 32
			 '(1 "_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ"))
   (x-send-client-message nil 0 nil
			 "_NET_WM_STATE"
			 32
			 '(1 "_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT")))

It can be put in .emacs for example.

Note that other window managers may do something different.
