I think Wine should have as few OS X (or Ubuntu for that matter) specific hacks as possible.
It shouldn't have hacks, but I don't think it's unreasonable to use platform-specific services for things that don't have widely accepted standards.
What really matters is that the platform-specific bits need to be small and well isolated, that's why we'd want others dlls to use schannel instead of going straight to OS libraries for instance. But having a small chunk of platform-specific code inside schannel with a clean interface doesn't seem problematic to me.
