BeOS?

Old version - 0.9.5 - and it's not entirely clear from what they're
saying, given that they said they ported "Ethereal", but it sounds as if
they might only have ported Tethereal.

If you have X, the GUI shouldn't be *too* painful.  The biggest pain
would probably be porting libpcap if you want to capture packets, and
that might be impossible; after that, the main problem would probably be
with the file system, although the Win32 port probably helps somewhat
there (as long as you don't have obnoxious file name limitations).
