First time you run wine, it creates a folder ~/.wine. There you can find a subfolder called dosdevices, where there is a c: link (pointing to ~/.wine/drive_c) and z: link (pointing to /). There you should create a d: link (or any letter Windows can recognize as a CD-drive):

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
ln -s /media/cdrom d:

Then, insert the installation cd. Type
cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/d:
wine Setup.exe

And there it is. :-) You probably will need to run winecfg in order to make everything work fine.
You can also check http://www.winehq.com, section Application DB. Search for Diablo 2. There you will find some solutions to common problems.
