did you get it working then?

pretty much all games will run better in Crossover than on Wine on Mac OS X.  This is because Apples X11 stinks, and the custom version Codeweavers built into Crossover is fantastic for Wine.... its unlikely you'll ever get a game running in Wine as good as it runs in Crossover, but this is not because of Wine, its because of X11 on Macs....

if you just wanting to port over 1 program, you can use a tool I've been making to do that.... I've been making a tool to help make single ports of Win software to Macs using Wine.. no Wine having to be installed, everything is bundled up inside a .app so you can get everything inside the .app and working, then it works like a normal double click mac .app ... basically a full wrapper to go around Win software.

I've been calling it Wineskin.  If you test it out, let me know what you think or any feedback you'd like to give.... its not super user friendly, but I have made directions for using it.  Current version has Wine 1.1.29 inside, and runs on 10.5 and 10.6 .. but of course it still uses X11.app. I tried making my own custom X11 server, but I had all types of problems with OpenGL which made it useless for games, and I gave up on it.

Here is a download link to Wineskin 1.1.29beta1.  Please read the directions before use, if you just try to run the app, its only going to run Wine notepad, you have to open it up and edit it and get your game inside the .app ...  Sorry I don't have any fancy webpage, just a hobby of mine :-)
