No.

(ever wonder what WINE stands for? Wine Is Not an Emulator!)

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

To elaborate a little more, WINE requires an x86 CPU still, as the name implies it is not an emulator. It provides a Windows like framework so that apps think they are still running in Windows. Its kind of an independent implementation of the Windows API.
