I made a package of ethereal which is neither dependent on  
"fink" (with which I just happen to have the same last name) nor on  
Darwin Ports. Its compiled with gtk 1.2 which is not dependent on all  
those fancy libraries ethereal doesnt make use of. (yes this really  
means compiling glib2, gettext, libiconv, pkgconfig, gtk2, atk,  
cairo, fontconfig, expat freetype, zlib, libpixman, libpng, render,  
xrender, pango, Xft2, tiff, jpeg, libpcap, openssl which is really an  
overkill)

Here is how I built it:

1st you need to build glib:

wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz
tar -xvzf glib-1.2.10.tar.gz
cd glib-1.2.10
cp /usr/share/libtool/config.* .
export ARCH="-arch ppc -arch i386"
export SDK="MacOSX10.4u.sdk"
export SDK_LIBS="-L/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/lib -L/Developer/SDKs/$ 
{SDK}/usr/lib/system"
export SDK_INCS="-I/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/include -I/Developer/ 
SDKs/${SDK}/usr/include/libxml2"
export CC="gcc"
export CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer ${ARCH} ${SDK_INCS} $ 
{SDK_LIBS}"
export CXX="g++"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors - 
fno-exceptions -fno-rtti ${ARCH} ${SDK_INCS} ${SDK_LIBS}"
export LDFLAGS="-lstdc++ ${SDK_LIBS}"
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --mandir=/usr/share/man -- 
disable-dependency-tracking
#
# you need to remove the G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION in gstrfuncs.c
#
mv gstrfuncs.c gstrfuncs.c.old
sed s/G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION//g < gstrfuncs.c.old > gstrfuncs.c


now edit the file glibconfig.h
and replace the definition of G_BYTE_ORDER with

	#include <machine/endian.h>
	#define G_BYTE_ORDER BYTE_ORDER

Also in glib-1.2.10/gmem.c around line 167 you will find
	if(size==0)
		return NULL;
after that insert
	if(size==-1)
		return NULL;

same for line 231.

If you don't do this, MacOS X 1.4.4 or newer will complain while on  
older it worked.
next thing to build is gtk+:

wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/gtk+-1.2.10.tar.gz
tar -xvzf gtk+-1.2.10.tar.gz
cd gtk+-1.2.10
cp /usr/share/libtool/config.* .
export ARCH="-arch i386 -arch ppc"
export SDK="MacOSX10.4u.sdk"
export SDK_LIBS="-L/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/lib -L/Developer/SDKs/$ 
{SDK}/usr/lib/system -L/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/X11R6/lib"
export SDK_INCS="-I/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/include -I/Developer/ 
SDKs/${SDK}/usr/include/libxml2"
export CC="gcc"
export CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer ${ARCH} ${SDK_INCS} $ 
{SDK_LIBS}"
export CXX="g++"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors - 
fno-exceptions -fno-rtti ${ARCH}${SDK_INCS}"
export LDFLAGS="-lstdc++ ${SDK_LIBS} ${ARCH}"
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --mandir=/usr/local/man  
--with-glib-prefix=/usr/local --disable-dependency-tracking
make
sudo make install
cd ..


now lets install libpcap which is straightforward. Newer versions of  
MacOS have libpcap already installed so you might be able to skip  
this (and remove the --with-pcap=... option when building ethereal)

wget http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-0.9.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libpcap-0.9.4.tar.gz
cd libpcap-0.9.4
./configure --enable-ipv6
make
sudo make install
cd ..



Then we can build ethereal the following way:

# first we make sure /usr/local/bin is in the path as otherwise it  
wont find glib /gtk+ accordingly
XPATH=/usr/local/bin:`echo $PATH | sed "s/\/usr\/local\/bin//g"`
export PATH="`echo $XPATH | sed "s/::/:/g"`"
export ARCH=""
export SDK="MacOSX10.4u.sdk"
export SDK_LIBS="-L/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/lib -L/Developer/SDKs/$ 
{SDK}/usr/lib/system -L/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/X11R6/lib"
export SDK_INCS="-I/Developer/SDKs/${SDK}/usr/include -I/Developer/ 
SDKs/${SDK}/usr/include/libxml2"
export CC="gcc"
export CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer ${ARCH} ${SDK_INCS} $ 
{SDK_LIBS}"
export CXX="g++"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors - 
fno-exceptions -fno-rtti ${ARCH}"
export LDFLAGS="-lstdc++ -liconv ${SDK_LIBS}"
./configure --disable-gtk2 --disable-gtktest --disable-glibtest -- 
enable-usr-local --enable-threads --disable-ssl --disable-dependency- 
tracking --with-pcap=/usr/local/

Then the same was built on Intel architecture (with -arch i386) and  
the two where merged together
with the lipo tool.

Note: ethereal doesn't like when glib/gtk are multi architecture.  
This is because the make file uses "ar" and not libtool to extract  
some files from a library file. Because "ar" can not deal with multi  
architecture files, this fails. So easiest is to build it on a ppc  
machine, just for ppc and on a intel machine just for intel and then  
merge the final result with lipo (or just use it as is....)
