Christina Hornung has published a Mac OS X Leopard native Wireshark Installer Package on this website.

It is based on GTK, so you dont need X11.

He offers builds for PPC, Intel. Tiger releases are available too. So grab them….

Some basic informations about WireShark from wiki:

Wireshark is a packet sniffer computer application. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. In June 2006 the project was renamed from Ethereal due to trademark issues.

The functionality Wireshark provides is very similar to tcpdump, but it has a GUI front-end, and many more information sorting and filtering options. It allows the user to see all traffic being passed over the network (usually an Ethernet network but support is being added for others) by putting the network card into promiscuous mode.

Wireshark uses the cross-platform GTK+ widget toolkit, and is cross-platform, running on various computer operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, Wireshark is free software.
