totorro what you are talking about is not wine as such.

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html#QEMU-User-space-emulator  allows it to kinda work today.

In theory this could be extended on to allow wineserver to run arm native and the rest inside the emulator.  But doing some brings a set of  major problems.  Basically to embed qemu you are talking many weeks/Maybe months of work.   Yes this is where is the money kind of problem if you want it any time soon if ever.

Also x86 emulation is not light so the performance results are not going to be great.   Lot of cases the resources would be better spent recoding the programs you need.  Speed hit is taken just sorting out video issues.  This will be a extra speed hit on top.  Lagging not performing applications are really not worth it.
