In recent enough Wine (>=1.1.3) Vitaliy Margolen has imported the mouse warp workaround. To use it add this registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\RavenShield.exe\DirectInput]
MouseWarpOverride = force
Note: if your mouse sensitivity is high enough the cursor might jump out of the game window if you move your mouse fast, you could prevent this by using slower speed in X and higher sensitivity in game but you'll lose some accuracy
Intro movies cannot be skipped. Only way to do it is to remove the intro movies permanently or to replace them with empty files (might produce better results). The correspondig files are Videos/Logos.bik and Videos/int/RS_Intro.bik. If you happen to have crashing problems with the intro videos, this also gets you into the menu.
Multiplayer works flawlessly.

Fixed problems:
Everything above was tested with Wine 1.1.3.
Punkbuster might or might not work. You will be kicked out of Punkbuster enabled servers without patching and can be marked as a cheater, so be careful!
See bug 9685 for more details and patches.
If the framerate is not smooth, try both of these:
wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D' /v UseGLSL /d disabled
ReduceMouseLag=False
UseHardwareTL=False
MaxPixelShaderVersion=1
