it appears that Wireshark is looking for dumpcap in the wrong location. On my machine it has been installed by Wireshark/macports in /opt/local/bin/, Wireshark expects it in /opt/local/share/. I assume this is a Wireshark bug.
creating a symbolic link  /opt/local/share/dumpcap  to  /opt/local/bin/dumpcap fixed the problem.
