Comment:

 dsniff-devel only works with libnet11, not libnet. The port currently
 checks whether libnids is installed with the +libnet11 variant and fails,
 if it isn't. You, however, are stating that you had to use libnet with
 dsniff-devel over libnet11? I'd expect this to be true for dsniff, but not
 dsniff-devel.

 There's not a lot that can be done there, though, because MacPorts does
 not support dependencies on specific variants. There's no way to
 automatically install the correct variant of libnids depending on whether
 dsniff or dsniff-devel are to be installed.
