Only for cases when this would not hurt port's functionality of the port (see

But this would take only one-two lines in port's Makefile... After all the port
would be only half-functional with default .so versioning scheme - i.e. it is
unlikely that you will be able to teach elf ldconfig on how to link dynamic
executable with .so.1.0 shared library (please remember that wine is not only
emulator it is an API as well).
Of course the better way would be to persuade Wine developers to change versioning
scheme for FreeBSD, or at least make it compile-time configurable.
