	Right, its not preventing someone from going through all the
steps to install wireshark, it does break 'port install wireshark' (or
foo) when the user hasn't already installed gtk2 (+x11, no idea
how well +quartz works with wireshark).  I agree that 'port install
foo' should always work.
	If there's a way to specify 'gtk2 +x11' I'm all for adding
that to the wireshark (and other) ports, I don't think there is yet
(and I'm happy to be corrected).
