I think I found what I was looking for.  (And I guess what I thought  
were DOS programs weren't really, anyway.  Just "Command line" windows  
apps.

So on my mac I made a shell script like:
============
#!/bin/bash
case $0 in
      */cc5x)
       app=~/Applications/WineApps/cc5x/cc5x.exe
       if [ "x$*" != "x" ]; then
         config=-IC:cc5x
         args=$*
       fi;;

      */mpasm)
       app=~/Applications/WineApps/mpasm
       if [ "x$*" != "x" ]; then
         config=
         args=$*
       fi;;

      */mplink)
       app=~/Applications/WineApps/mplink
       if [ "x$*" != "x" ]; then
         config=
         args=$*
       fi;;

esac
/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine $app $config $args
============
And I hard link ~/bin/mpasm to the shell script, and soft link ~/ 
Applications/WineApps/<whatever> to wherever the install put them  
(~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/...)  Wine and/or the shell script  
seems to have trouble with filenames containing spaces (which is  
annoying), and the soft links solve that problem...

mpasm thinks it's running in windows, though (according to the docs,  
it should notice that it's running from the command line.)  Perhaps I  
need a command.com replacement in the chain as well.  cc5x's "type any  
character to continue" prompts don't stop, but it looks basically  
usable....
