Okay, just for giggles, I did:

sudo port -v install wireshark +no_x11

Unfortunately, at the end, it complained the another variant was  
activated so I deactivated that with:

sudo port -v deactivate wireshark +darwin_8

and activated the +no_x11 version with:

sudo port -v install wireshark +no_x11

which returned without error.  And

port -v installed wireshark

displays the following:

The following ports are currently installed:
   wireshark @1.0.0_0+darwin_8
   wireshark @1.0.0_0+darwin_8+no_x11 (active)

However, when I double-clicked the icon in /Applications, I get an  
error in Console that reads:

2008-05-19 13:54:37.579 open[15218] No such file: /usr/local/bin/ 
wireshark

and the new activated wireshark isn't in /opt/local/bin either (where  
the other wireshark used to reside).  What gives?  Is there anything  
I can do to get it to install correctly (either in /usr/local/bin or / 
opt/local/bin)?
