Will you be able to have a Ethereal version that a downloadable binary from your website as a *.dmg or OS X bundled application without using Fink or DarwinPort? 
If somebody contributes

	1) a Mac (or enough money for a Mac) for the build farm

and
2) a set of instructions for packaging up Ethereal *AND ALL THE LIBRARIES IT NEEDS FROM GLib and GTK+* into an OS X package 
to us, we would probably be able to do that.  (If somebody contributes 
to us the latter, somebody else might contribute the former.)

Note that the package includes a command-line application (Tethereal), 
so the package would probably have to be built with GLib, at least, and 
all the plugins and files that come with Ethereal installed in a 
standard place such as /usr/local/lib (although that might run the risk 
of overwriting one the user has already installed).

Note also the the resulting Ethereal would still require X11.
