If yes, could you tell me how to with 3ds max ?

Yes it is possible, you need to create "Multi/Sub-object" material, then set quantity of materials inside of this material, setup those materials with textures, remember their IDs and apply that "Multi/Sub-object" material to the object, then in editable-poly or editable-mesh you can select surfaces and change theirs Mat ID to set material you need.
Then do not forget to set sub-materials names in xml and describe the textures names.
Also there is another way to use different materials in max, just select the surface and apply material to it from MatLib, but i must warn you that you can produce some errors and mess using this method.

P.S. Wow guys! so many cool blocks this morning!

Arc's manual wrote:Players need to be running TM2Unlimiter for the custom blocks to load properly. This is due to a restriction in ManiaPlanet (see Introduction). If you run ManiaPlanet without TM2Unlimiter, the blocks' icons will be visible in the editor but you can't actually place them.
