Cool!

I don't know about AIX; somebody from CA asked about it
last year.

But there are a few folks using Winelib with alternate
OS's and CPUs.  Perhaps some of them would be able to
help you past some of the rough spots.

A few links from a quick google search:

Robert Lunnon got a Solaris/X86 port working; see

And various people are using Winelib on Solaris/Sparc; see

And then there are the folks building Wine for Darwin.

Good luck, and do keep us posted!  I bet you're not the
only one who wants this.
