See bug 9694:

	https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9694

for details.

Try getting the latest version of Wireshark from us:

	http://www.wireshark.org/download.html

rather than from MacPorts, as we use the OS's libpcap.

Bug 74029:

	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74029

has been filed against the D-Bus library; as that bug notes, I will work around it by disabling D-Bus support on OS X in libpcap.  (Anybody inconvenienced by that should vote for freedesktop.org bug 74029, so that said support can be safely re-enabled.)

I've also filed MacPorts bug 42249:

	https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42249

to have them disable D-Bus support pending a fix to bug 9694.
