If you would like to add this capability to the wireshark port, you  
can use "port edit wireshark" to see the wireshark portfile in your  
preferred editor, make the necessary changes, and then install the  
port. If you would like to contribute these changes back to the  
project, you can attach a diff of your changes to a ticket in the  
issue tracker.
