I've also tried the following to no avail:

sudo port -v uninstall wireshark @1.0.0_0+darwin_8+no_x11

and then:

sudo port -v install wireshark @1.0.0+no_x11

which returned without error but it still keeps looking for wireshark  
in /usr/local/bin so I guess macports isn't installing wireshark  
where the non-X11 wrapper seems to want it to be.  I can find the X11  
version of wireshark in /opt/local/var/macports/software/wireshark/ 
1.0.0_0+darwin_8/opt/local/bin/wireshark but no non-X11 version of  
wireshark anywhere.

I am running Mac OS 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.4.1 and X11R6 installed from  
the developer disk.
