However, I expect this will only work on Intel Macs. See to the FAQ on the Wine web site:
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-faq/index#UNDER-WHAT-PLATFORMS- WILL-WINE-RUN
"Thus running Windows binaries on other platforms (e.g. Mac OS X on PowerPC) using just Wine is *not* possible."
On the other hand, the WINE wiki suggests that the Darwine project to get WINE to run on Mac OS X/PPC is still going with some success [1], and was last updated on Sourceforge at the end of last year [2]. I'd agree with Ryan, though, that it's still likely to be alpha/ experimental software. (Apologies if I'm insulting your intelligence by telling you this; I'm saying it for completeness.) If I had a PowerPC machine, I'd test out Darwine to see whether or not it was worth putting a port into the tree, but sadly my old 2001 iBook has long since gone.
