I still play games on FreeBSD. Skyrim does work, with a little bit of effort.
However wine may still hit that 32-bit wall. Wine is 32 bit and it may be a long while before its 64 bit. As motherboards support more and more ram, you will need a gimped box just to play...
Skyrim will use a maximum of 2GB memory anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem ... There are some unofficial patches to change this though (Haven't tried them myself).
