IMHO, it would be sufficient to add a "not supported by winehq.org" disclaimer next to the mention. If there currently is no binary distribution that packs the vanilla wine tree then you're making it unnecessarily difficult to obtain a binary distribution for the Mac OS X crowd. XCode is a separate install/download (weighing in at almost 1GB) and people are generally less comfortable with the command line than Linux folks. I had to google quite a bit to find current wine packages for OS X and a link on the wiki would have been much appreciated.
In my opinion WineHQ Wiki is not an appropriate place for that. It would look like WineHQ somehow suggests to download and use that package, while that's not true. Darwine builds fall in the same category as WineX, and other Wine forks with not clear or conflicting licenses, or not supported and even listed/published patches applied. Users are not welcome to download, use, and report bugs for these packages, moreover these packages/packagers have nothing to do with WineHQ at all, and not deserve mentioning, as it would look like inappropriate advertising using WineHQ resources.
IMHO.
