Well... winetricks now has working nfsworld and nfsworld_mono verbs
that let the game launch.  
The nfsworld verb (which uses .net) requires ie7.
The nfsworld_mono verb requires a registry hack
  reg add "HKCR\http\shell\open\command" /ve /d
"C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe -nohome "%1"" /f

So, there are two workarounds, but vanilla wine still can't start the game
without them.
