There is 1:1 mapping between Gecko and Wine version. You won't be able
to use current Wine with the new Gecko nor future Wine with current
Gecko. And doing Gecko release is quite not that simple to do it for
such a minor change.
BTW, the current plan is to do the new Gecko release together with
Firefox 6 release, which is about 6 weeks from now. The first beta
version should be out in a week or two, depending on how Firefox beta
will behave.
