He does created a port but didn't like to commit it into ports as this 
one gobbles all libraries that wine depend upon from local system and 
other installed ports and installs them as part of wine-fbsd64. And this 
is not good from a security/maintainability perspective yet it gives 
everyone a choice to use wine on amd64 machine. The port is freely 
available and regularly updated on mediafire with guides on how someone 
can make this package himself without downloading binaries compiled by 
some third party.
