I've got a MacBook, running Ubuntu, using the Wine right out of Ubuntu's 
apt repository, and an Intel based card.  It's running well (not nearly 
as well as my ATI-based systems, but that might be because of a lack of 
documentation for tweaks with these cards).

Maybe if you could post your wine and xorg-versions (with any flags 
Gentoo applied), we can figure it out.  I believe when I made my first 
attempt at getting WoW to run in wine, my best resource was the Gentoo 
wiki, so there may be some solutions there.
