I looked in pkgsrc/emulators, and wine-devel supports i386 and amd64.  I believe support for amd64 is in a much less advanced stage of development than for i386.

I built wine-devel for both i386 amd amd64 on NetBSD-current (7.99.15), tried on i386, and was not really satisfied.

I could not navigate well, did nothing fancy, but got a crash and unclean reboot (meaning file systems were not cleanly dismounted).
