Yes they in theory can. But Wine is not an emulator, and will not allow
you to run Windows binaries on non-X86 platforms. You would need to run
Wine in conjunction with an X86 emulator to do so. Such a project would
require significant programming skills and not be for the faint of heart.

Likely there would be some Endian issues, but many of those kinds of
bugs have been wrung out in the past, so I doubt there would be an
overwhelming number of them.
