Comment (by ghosthound):

 I can think of a few workarounds:

 You should be able to:
   sudo port install wireshark3 -chmodbpf
 and it should install without depending on wireshark-chmodbpf.

 You can disable the wireshark-chmodbpf startup item and
 sudo chgrp wheel /dev/bpf*
 which should put the /dev/bpf entries back to "default".  Presuming your
 user is a member of group wheel wireshark should then work.
 In fact, this chmod should work even if you do not disable the wireshark-
 chmodbpf startup item, you'll just have to do it after every reboot.
