You can use wxGLCanvas. There is an example if this in use in the samples folder of wx.mod called glcube.bmx.

I have no experience with Leadwerks but I can't see any reason why not.

There are issues using full-screen graphics contexts with wxMax, where I've had trouble getting input events to the context, but otherwise I'm fairly confident that you can use OpenGL with wxMax as normal. It's also possible to "connect" a DirectX context to a wxWindow, although there aren't many examples for it at the moment. (there's method called GetHandle() which returns the HWND that you might use for such a case).
