Due to the fact that Wireshark will not start executing Wireshark from the
command line with the -v option does not work.  Here is the output from such an
execution:

se-sowens-mb2-4:MacOS sowens$ ./Wireshark -v
2012-04-19 14:21:02.633 defaults[36664:903] 
The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication,
AppleAquaColorVariant) does not exist
2012-04-19 14:21:02.644 defaults[36665:903] 
The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, AppleHighlightColor)
does not exist
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
  Referenced from:
/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/bin/wireshark-bin
  Reason: Incompatible library version: wireshark-bin requires version 14.0.0
or later, but libfreetype.6.dylib provides version 13.0.0

However I can tell you that the version I am running is the 1.6.7 64Bit DMG
that I downloaded from wireshark.org today  File name="Wireshark 1.6.7 Intel
64.dmg"

I am running with Mac OSX version 10.6.8.  I have installed all of the security
updates and also run macports uninstall and reinstall with latest version of
freetype.

The version of freetype I am running right now on the box is:
freetype                       @2.4.9          print/freetype

I am attaching a complete list of the output of 
sudo port list in an attachment.
