The port for Quake is games/quakeforce (the binary then is
nq-sdl, e. g. "nq-glx -width 1024 -height 768", or nq-glx),
for Quake 2 it is games/quake2.

I'm not sure if wine can run those native DOS games, but
the "big" virtualisation software (VirtualBox, VMWare)
should be able to emulate a PC, then have some DOS
installed, and the game should run - _if_ the virtualisation
works properly and _fully_ supports the required
interfaces that the games _directly_ address.
I assume "doscmd" is not sufficient. Maybe "bochs"
is okay.
