I'll leave the rest for you to play with...but its pretty easy to see what people are transferring around the network.  Add the airpcap plugin, and you can do this wirelessly as well.

It appears it does not. (You can "port cat wireshark-devel" or "port edit wireshark-devel" and see for yourself what it does.)

I assume "make osx-app" would make a Mac OS X application that could be double-clicked, instead of having to be run from the command line?

Is there any reason why it can't just be always enabled on Mac OS X? Fewer variants is better.

The usual way to request something be changed in a portfile is to file a ticket in the issue tracker.

I think this request falls under this ticket:
