The DragonFly team tends to take a less conservative view than FreeBSD core;
if you can get this Jonathan Fosburgh fellow to mail
submit at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the needed changes, it can get talked about,
at least.
I haven't run WINE on a DragonFly system myself; I don't know what the
status is. Since DragonFly forked from FreeBSD 4.8, Wine may still work
now if it worked with 4.8.
