Currently the best way of using BBC iplayer is a perl script called get_iplayer which downloads DRM-free mp4 files intended for mobile-devices. I don't think it's in ports, but you can download it as a single file, which self-upgrades. It can access other interfaces for radio programmes too. The last time I checked the official iplayer application didn't install under wine. The online version is flash-based and should work with anything that supports flash - I still use windows firefox under wine, but it probably will work with linux flash under emulation.
