This is not a problem caused by Wine, but rather the X11 program
under Leopard (MacOSX 10.5) does not support OpenGL 'out of the

X11. It is a simple process, visit the XQuartz MacOSForge web
site. Select Releases and download XQuartz 2.3.0. Once the file
completes downloading to your Mac, click on the disk image file.
This will open to reveal two files: a package file and a folder
which includes the readme and change log. Click on the package
installer icon to start the installation. It is HIGHLY recommended
that the installation be completed by a system administration
account. Follow the prompts to install the software package.
FWIW, approved XQuartz versions are used in future Leopard updates,
you are installing the latest approved update ahead of the Leopard
update schedule.
I hope this helps resolve your problem with OpenGL.

I did all this, and sadly I am still getting the opengl problem.
When I launch the program it still opens X11, is that an error?
Should it be opening XQuartz wherever that is?
Xquartz is just the project name given to X releases that aren't
officially included in OS X. It's maintained by developers at Apple
though.
The latest Xquartz builds do not go into OS X directly. iirc, it was
discussed on the mailing list and Apple takes the latest stable at the
time they're building the update and make sure it's stable and package
the X server bits. Xquartz is generally newer then what's in a system
update as well as includes development headers.
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/122 is the relevant bug for
the libGL version being out of date. It's marked to be fixed in
2.4.0, however far away that may be (Xquartz is on 2.3.1b6 right now,
with a 2.3.2 planned).
