If you do so, you will receive this message:
$ sudo port install wine-devel
---> Computing dependencies for wine-devel
Error: Unable to execute port: Can't install wine-devel because conflicting
ports are installed: wine
You will need to deactivate wine first ("sudo port deactivate wine") first
before you can install wine-devel. If you prefer, you can completely uninstall
wine ("sudo port uninstall wine"), but it is not necessary to do so.

wine-devel has one additional dependency compared with wine: gstreamer. This in
turn has several more dependencies you may not already have installed.

My experience of trying to run IE6 in Wine was that it was not usable. I don't
know if the situation has improved with Wine or IE in the years since then.
For using IE on a Mac for web site compatibility testing, I suggest you use the
virtual machines Microsoft publishes for this purpose. I have a port for these
already written, I'm just testing a bit more before committing.
