Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Actually, wireshark uses X11: I'd say there's a better chance to get it to
 work on ppc than VLC.

 You could try reporting the wireshark issue in a new ticket, maybe the
 port's maintainer will be interested to help you figure out what goes
 wrong. (I say help because chances are slim he or she still has a PPC
 Mac!) Try to obtain a backtrace showing where the crash occurs, though,
 and attach it to the ticket.

 Oh, and you do have XQuartz or X11.app running, or it *is* started at
 least when you try to start wireshark, right? It'd be a bit overkill to
 file a ticket only to realise it doesn't crash, but simply exits because
 there is no X11 server to connect to ;)
