This issue comes up a few times a year (isn't it in a FAQ somewhere?) Anyway, take a look at these threads:
Yes it is a bit of a FAQ, and the answers have mostly been along the lines of "just use Winelib for non-Intel machines". Now it can be "... and checkout the Darwine BOF".
Thanks for the links!

It's a very nice subject... A pitty it has such a low importance (seeing how X86 dominates the desktop market).
Supposedly Mac OS X already has the largest installed base of any single *nix distribution and certainly is ahead of Linux on the desktop. So there are easily as many potential users of Wine for Mac OS X as Wine for X86-whatever. And Virtual PC has been popular & successful.

Sounds like a plan to me. Hopefully your Wine tree won't drift out of sync with the main one like so many Linux kernel port trees do.
Yep, keeping things in sync will be important. In checking out Winehq distrbution, I see that updates revolve arond the monthly tarballs. So that's where we'll start and try to keep up-to-date with that.
Thanks for the encouragment!
