There are a lot of ways. One is to export to a 3DS (not MAX) file. There''s quite a bit of documentation and code floating around regarding this file format, so you would be able to load these files into your game. Another is to export to an ASCII file. My favorite option, though, is to create a custom exporter plug-in for 3DS Max. I would recommend creating it as a utility plug-in. This way you can dictate which data you want to get out of the program and how you want to store it.
