Apple prints this message for 32-bit programs, as a reminder to you and its
developers that 32-bit programs will not work in macOS 10.15 or later.
At present, Wine must be 32-bit in order to support running 32-bit Windows
software. CodeWeavers (one of the primary developers of Wine) are working on a
solution to this problem. As of March 2019, they say "We are confident we will
have a version of CrossOver for macOS providing this support before macOS 10.15
is released later this year"; see
https://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=27;msg=212891 Hopefully
whatever they put into CrossOver can be pulled out and used in MacPorts as well.

MacPorts offers three ports for Wine; take your pick:
wine: the latest stable version
wine-devel: the latest development version
wine-crossover: the latest version released by CodeWeavers in their CrossOver
product
I usually keep these ports updated. I have not lately, because late in the wine
4 development cycle support for MoltenVK was added. I added this to the
wine-devel port. But MoltenVK does not support old macOS SDKs, and making
MoltenVK require the Xcode 10 SDK would limit the OS versions on which we can
use it. Once I have a solution for installing newer SDKs on older macOS
versions, we can update MoltenVK and the Wine ports.
