With the above disclaimer said....
I've created kernel diffs and an installer wrapper script that makes it
possible to run CrossOver Office (the commercial version of Wine supported
by CodeWeavers -- www.codeweavers.com) on NetBSD/i386, under Linux binary
emulation.
These fixes are definitely a work-in-progress, and most applications still
do _not_ run well in this configuration, thanks to an as yet unknown Linux
emulation bug that trips up the MS Installer. However, a small handful of
apps have been tested by me to work.
You can see the install instructions and necessary files here:
