Okay, I did "sudo port -v clean wireshark" and then "sudo port -v 
upgrade installed configure.compiler=gcc-4.2" and it seems to be 
compiling using the gcc-4.2 compiler explicitly now.   It's chugging 
away and will probably take a couple of hours.

Since it's now using the gcc-4.2 compiler, what about packages wireshark 
depends on?  Don't they have to also be recompiled using the gcc-4.2 
compiler?

Odd that MacPorts still defaults to gcc-4.0 if this is a 10.5 system, 
albeit it being a PPC system.
