Yeah, that appears to have solved the problem. Not immediately, but after several reboots and many failed executions of the "winecfg" command, it just seemed to start working all of a sudden.

I just recently wanted to play a game in Wine on Mac OS X 10.8.2, a game that I know worked a mere 2 months ago. But when I just tried it again yesterday, wine completely flopped. I can't remember the exact course of events, but I got errors about DBUS (which I had resolved back when I first installed wine with MacPorts. I also got errors about X Server not running, or display issues about windows trying to be opened, but failing. I've been casting about for a few hours, and have uninstalled XQuartz 2.7.4, and reinstalled it. And now I'm not getting any errors at all, just this:
