Looking into the patch, I believe we can avoid the introduction of
WINE_SLAVE_BUILD by making this
.if !defined(USE_LDCONFIG32)
USE_LDCONFIG= ${WINELIBDIR} ${WINELIBDIR}/wine
.endif
and will give it a try.
Also, do we really need the CONFLICTS? emulators/wine is
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386, whereas your port is for AMD64 only.

As time goes by, 32-bit support in a 64-bit OS becomes less important.
It has been hugely important for customer in $DAYJOB, and I would not
underestimate the amount of 32-bit legacy applications out there.
