Your ports are out of date if they're still trying to fetch wireshark 0.99.5. The port was updated to 0.99.6 in r26752 on 2007-07-05. Please "sudo port selfupdate" and then try installing wireshark again. Remember to use selfupdate often when working with MacPorts.

also tried pointing to wireshark-0.99.6.tar.bz2 not much luck however =/

If you still experience problems after selfupdate, show us the exact error. Eric, here's a patch which enables people to fetch old versions, even after a newer one is released. This would help the wireshark port be more robust. I'll be happy to commit it if you don't object.
