As the wiki suggests, you can use the unofficial wine package at
http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/wine/
I've been using it myself for some time now without any issues. You
just need to install some lib32 userland libraries that in my system I
didn't have.

I use Spotify under wine on FreeBSD 8.1 AMD64.

Cheers.
