It should be possible to play using Wine, as shown on their website here.

My personal experience with AoE under Wine 3 is that it was too choppy/laggy, to the point of being nearly unplayable. YMMV. However, yes it is definitely possible. – jw013 Apr 16 '12 at 11:59
An update: I have heard anecdotally that AoE 2 works almost flawlessly under Wine 1.4, but have not verified this myself. – jw013 Aug 17 '12 at 17:47

If Wine can also run the Steam platform, then you might be able to run AoE through Steam via Wine because a HD Remake of Age of Empires 2 has been announced for Steam on April 9th. The cost is $19.99 or $17.99 for pre-orders.
