Touhou on Linux and MacOS X, using Wine or Virtualization
Momiji:
I've been playing around with the Ten Desires trial, and it seems to work great in Wine. Some of the text is still improperly rendered (due to the DIB engine issue), but outside that I haven't noticed any weird glitches yet. Of course the custom.exe doesn't work.

Of course. :|
Should be noted that WINE users need to drop D3DX9_43.dll into the game directory. Runs like a dream for me in the 1.1.33 build.

I'm running 1.3.16, didn't seem to need anything.

Well then! Maybe it's time for an upgrade.
DX7.EP:
I'll add on a few things here for Mac users.
You're not stuck to using MacPorts or Fink.
Mac-based frontends for WINE that are good for use include Wineskin, Winebottler (on 1.1.44, discontinued?), and PlayOnMac.
I have a good bit of experience with WineBottler, which integrates with the system menu for settings and allows you to turn Windows programs to simple OS X application bundles (YMMV).
Played IN, UFO, and TD via this app and they work well without other modifications or even Winetricks (though the last one requires d3dx9_43.dll in the game directory). However, depending on your system performance may not be optimal (eg. 30-40FPS for MBP5,5 (2009 13") users).
Alternatively, there's Crossover, but that's commercial-grade stuff.
