To put it a bit more precisely:

    If you're using a pre-built version of Wireshark:
If you're using the Windows or Mac OS X version (those are the only platforms for which we distribute binaries ourselves), PortAudio is included.
If you're using a packaged binary for some other platform, it depends on who's doing the packaging; I can't speak for various Linux distributions or any *BSD OSes, for example. 

    If you're building Wireshark yourself:
If you're building on Windows, the Windows build procedure will download Portaudio and build with it.
If you're building on UN*X (OS X, Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc.), you need to install the PortAudio library; the configure script *should* find it, at least if it's installed under /usr or /usr/local, and build with it.
