Thanks to a patch from Dmitry Timoshkov, I was able to get Framemaker 7.0 to 
start up and run. I am using a Demonstration License so your milage may vary, 
but I was able to wake-up Framemaker and do basic stuff.

 Procedure:
 1. Download Wine 20031212
 2. Apply patch to dlls/ntdll/virtual.c - 
http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/02/0212.html
 3. Compile & Install
 4. Use the IE 6 install script found here: 
http://bylands.dur.ac.uk/~mh/wine-ie/
 5. Install DCOM98.EXE - WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole=n" wine dcom98.exe
 6. Install Framemaker 7.0
 
 Good:
 - It recognizes all the local fonts
 - I was able to enter text, change fonts, and other basic operations
 
 Bad:
 - There was an "Adobe Online internal error". I'm guessing that it won't 
contact the mothership to download updates right now.
 - When I open up the Help->About window, the program hung
 - I ran through several other dialog box creating menu items and it also hung
