I've never had success with serial ports in Wine although it has been
some time since I tried.  Several months ago on another list someone
reported the later beta releases of Wine will work with built-in serial
ports such as yours, but not with USB to serial adapters that I use.

You may wish to give the later Wine 1.3 releases a try:

Unfortunately, I think the Wine developers main focus is on office apps
and games, not hardware access such as serial ports.
