Assuming that "^^" means XOR you could spell this

sage: function("OR")
sage: function("XOR")
sage: e = XOR(OR(3*z^3,2*z^2),5*z)+2

If you read up on the NewSymbolicFunction functionality you could even make 
them so that you can evaluate the expression for numerical (integer) values 
of z.

What you obviously don't get from this approach is that sage can test for 
you symbolically that

NOT(AND(x, y)) == OR(NOT(x),NOT(y))

but then again, your stated goal is to work with operations that do not 
have nice mutual algebraic relations. It does raise the question what the 
benefit is that you'll be deriving from representing such expressions 
symbolically.
