So, I've uninstalled the unwanted variants, leaving the one I want and try the following command in the meantime and let it do its "thing" overnight and will report back on what happens if the build succeeds and when I try to run the results:

Correct, that's all that it's designed to do.

Sure, that would be:

sudo port clean rdepof:wireshark

Note that would only clean them; it would not uninstall them. Thus MacPorts would not try to rebuild them. If you're wanting to rebuild them all with a different compiler (which as far as I know shouldn't be necessary) then you could:

sudo port -f uninstall rdepof:wireshark

This will likely break many of the other ports that still remain installed, until you reinstall those dependencies.
