Yes. Running it from the menu is horribly jerky and slow, but if you use the following commands, it runs like a dream.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III/

wine Frozen\ Throne.exe -opengl
Edit: Oh, yeah. The actual game runs, but all the pre-rendered cinematics do not; there's sound but no video. You can watch them other ways, or through YouTube, though. ;-)

By the way, you should learn about the Wine AppDB. If you ask any question about Wine gaming, I guarantee a lot of the people here are learned what they know there. Plus, all the info there is archived and usually quite through for popular games. Here is the entry on The Frozen Throne (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126).
