Dear Mike:

If you check out the Wine home page here:

http://www.winehq.org/

You will see that wine is primarily designed to work on x86 systems.
If you explore this page:

http://www.winehq.org/site/myths#only_x86

You'll see that the developers of wine are working to expand their
program to run on other systems.  They are not specific regarding which
ones.

It is just my opinion, but depending upon what you intended to use wine
for another program, called qemu, may be what you are looking for.  In
the past, when other PowerPC systems were current, qemu, had been used
by various members of this list to run a variety of Windows programs
while they worked within YDL.  QEMU itself worked well, however no one
was really happy with the processing power which existed then on those
PowerPC systems.  

The thing which may interest you is that The Cell, the PS3 processor,
doesn't have the problems of past PowerPC systems.  If you've the
skills, you should be able to acquire the source of qemu and compile it
so that you can utilize it implementing The Cell's unique facilities.
Such an effort is worthy of a Ph.D. or Master thesis to be sure, but
once done, I imagine it would be one amazing tool unique to approaching
what The Cell is capable of within the PS3.

The homepage for qemu is available here:

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/about.html

Remember that when you download the source to compile it on your PS3,
you will not actually be using the full power of The Cell unless you
integrate and utilize the SDK or programming tools provided by TSS for
use in programming The Cell.  A straight or standard compilation
procedure which any older PowerPC can do or any x86 or any other
processor would not be enough -- if your goal is to use YDL and The
Cell within the PS3 to it's utmost capacity.

Forgive me, if I've elaborated too much. 

Best of Luck...

The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of a
rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which
reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, in
comparison with it, the highest intelligence of human beings
is an utterly insignificant reflection.  This feeling is the
guiding principle of his life and work.
