If you know your mod path (Go to the mod options tab from the main menu and hit the "Show Mod Path" button) it shouldn't be any different than getting a mod to work on any other system.

I'm not sure about wineskin on Macs but Wine on Linux keeps the Windows file-systems in $HOME/.wine/drive_X where X is the Windows-style drive letter and $HOME is your home directory, usually /home/<user-name>.

So, taking an example user-name of "fred", I would take a guess at the mod directory being

/home/fred/.wine/drive_c/Users/fred/My Documents/My Games/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion/Mods-Rebellion v1.52

Did you extract the .zip file or whatever archive you downloaded? Sins looks for mods in regular folders.

SoGE usually comes bundled in the RAR archive format, so you'll need to extract the archive using a utility like unrar - I would imagine there's Mac versions available.

As Goa hinted, at Sins itself won't know how to load what ever archive format (RAR, ZIP, 7z ...) has been used to package up a mod.
