PlayOnLinux installs IE6 flawlessly, but it cannot access the webserver running on the host by means of something like http://localhost:8888 (as the Wine Guest probably has it's own Localhost interface -- what I need is to access the Host's localhost interface).

Have youo tried 127.0.0.1 and ::1 rather than localhost? (I know
OpenSolaris has some weird issues with things only listening on
IPv6...)

PlayOnLinux is not supported here.
