You don't need to detect them, you need to configure them and have
appropriate rights on the devices. 

For me this looks like

uid=503(bon) ... 14(uucp)...

crw-rw----    1 uucp     uucp       4,  64 Feb 25  2001 /dev/ttyS0
> ls -l /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw----    1 root     uucp       4,  65 Jan 19  2001 /dev/ttyS1

and in .wine/config:
[serialports]
"Com1" = "/dev/ttyS0"
"Com2" = "/dev/ttyS1"
