"So I have been working hard on a Mac port for Path of Exile using Wine. Now It is Available for download :)
The Wrapper is a Standalone Wine Wrapper, no need for any other software! When You download the app, just launch it and it sill install just like the PC version!
The Wrapper is 350MB Approximately, because it is standalone it has all the files needed to run the game built in!
Download Links:
Disk Image Downloads (305MB):
Uploading.com
Gigasize.com

Zip Downloads (330MB):

When you finish downloading, drag the Application to your Application folder and Launch and Install! When it Finishes installing it should auto play, if not quit the wrapper and relaunch :)

New Version Released? You can Update your Wrapper Without Redownloading!!
To Update your Wrapper:
Right Click your Path of Exile.app file and view the contents.
Open Wineskin.app and Go To Advanced.
Select Tools and Open Winetricks
Look at the Posted changelog and install whatever is listed as being added.
Usually files and support libraries are added when crashes are reported and I find out what it is depending on, and what it is crashing from. So if it is crashing from sound and visual problems, I can usually find out what it is referring to and what it needs installed to stop the crash.

Path Of Exile Running on Mac:
________________________________________________________________
Original Porting Notes
In Order to Get Path of Exile fully working under Wine on Mac you will need to install:
d3dx10_33 - d3dx10_43
d3dx9_24 - d3dx9_43
msvcr100
msvcr80
quartz
d3d10
d3d9
openal32 (ABSOLUTELY NEEDED! Game will crash with errors without)
vcrun2005 (Visual C++ libraries)
vcrun2010 (Without these, the game gives errors upon launching)
dotnet20 (MS .NET 2.0, not 100% sure the port needs it, but I have it installed incase.)
I am also running it under Windows 7, it can be run under WinXP, I haven't seen any difference between to two so I have stuck with Win7.
If You want to port it yourself and you come across sound problems. Add this EXEFLAG: --nosound
d3dx10_33 - d3dx10_43
d3dx9_24 - d3dx9_43

Best Version of Wine to Use?
So Far I have found 1.4 to be the best version to use for Path of Exile.
Let me Explain some of them:
1.5.2: Buggy and very very laggy!
1.5.1: Very laggy
1.5.0: Seems to run almost perfectly
1.4NoXInput2: Same as 1.4? Seems to run very smoothly
1.4-rc3: Same as 1.4? Seems to run very smoothly
1.4: Practically Perfect, have not come across any issues
1.3.0 and under: The Game does not recognize the graphics card correctly and will not show water effects.
There are other versions I tested as well, over 20, and i have come across, lag, framerate problems, and crashes. 1.4 seems to be the best version to use.

I Have Only played through the first part, so If there are crashes that come later please report them and I will see if I can help you fix it!
It is ported using Wineskin. Of course it may have some bugs, but it will be almost completely functional.
