You most likely can, though good performance isn't guaranteed.

You'll need the proprietary ISA emulator from Apple (Rosetta 2) to translate amd64 to armv9 and Wine to run the game, I also don't have a clue whether the GPU bundled with these toys has Vulkan support but if it doesn't then you'll need to figure out how to translate Direct3D 8 to whatever those GPU support, probably OpenGL or Metal (I believe that's what's called for Apple) if Vulkan isn't a thing. If you're unfamiliar with any of these you'll have to read some documentation about how to install and manage those, I personally can't help with Rosetta because I've not even once in my whole life laid a finger on Apple hardware ever since the first PowerPC machines, the Wine setup should still work as usual, though the lack of Lutris will make setup more manual.

Good luck.
