It is a Windows build htat Image-Line (the maker) sells. I run it over WINE 32bit that is built on top of my Slackware workstation on an AMD Opteron. It is amazing to see it and the plugins work flawlessly. So there may be a WINE-way for you too. Image-Lines _official_ port of FL Studio to Macintosh is to buy Crossover from Codeweavers (by hwy 280 and Univ Ave in St Paul, MN) and run it there. Wow!
