In order to build Wireshark, you must have X11 and the X11 developer

For libpng, use scripts/makefile.darwin, not scripts/makefile.macosx.
Finally run the configure script. By default it will use

+the GLib2 and GTK+2 libraries. If you run Wireshark's configure script
with the "--disable-gtk2" argument it'll try to configure with GLib
1.2[.x] and GTK+ 1.2[.x], in which case:
if they are installed, the configure script will configure
Wireshark to build with them.
+
+If you upgrade the major release of Mac OS X on which you are building
+Wireshark, we advise that, before you do any builds after the upgrade,
+you do, in the build directory:
+
+ If you are building from a release tarball:
+ make distclean
+
+ If you are building from SVN:
+ make maintainer-clean
+ ./autogen.sh
+
+Then re-run the configure script and rebuild from scratch.
+
+On Snow Leopard, if you are building on a machine with a 64-bit
+processor (with the exception of the early Intel Core Duo and Intel Core
+Solo machines, all Apple machines with Intel processors have 64-bit
+processors), the C/C++/Objective-C compiler will build 64-bit by
+default.
+
+This means that you will, by default, get a 64-bit version of Wireshark.
+
+One consequence of this is that, if you built and installed any required
+or optional libraries for Wireshark on an earlier release of Mac OS X,
+those are probably 32-bit versions of the libraries, and you will need
+to un-install them and rebuild them on Snow Leopard, to get 64-bit
+versions.
+
+Some required and optional libraries require special attention if you
+install them by building from source code on Snow Leopard:
+
+GLib - the GLib configuration script determines whether the system's
+libiconv is GNU iconv or not by checking whether it has libiconv_open(),
+and the compile will fail if that test doesn't correctly indicate
+whether libiconv is GNU iconv. In Mac OS X, libiconv is GNU iconv, but
+the 64-bit version doesn't have libiconv_open(); a workaround for this
+is to replace all occurrences of "libiconv_open" with "iconv_open" in
+the configure script before running the script.
+
+libgcrypt - the libgcrypt configuration script attempts to determine
+which flavor of assembler-language routines to use based on the platform
+type determined by standard autoconf code. That code uses uname to
+determine the processor type; however, in Mac OS X, uname always reports
+"i386" as the processor type on Intel machines, even Intel machines with
+64-bit processors, so it will attempt to assemble the 32-bit x86
+assembler-language routines, which will fail. The workaround for this
+is to run the configure script with the --disable-asm argument, so that
+the assembler-language routines are not used.
+
+PortAudio - when compiling on Darwin (e.g., on Mac OS X), the configure
+script for the pa_stable_v19_20071207 version of PortAudio will cause
+certain platform-dependent build environment #defines to be set in the
+Makefile rules, and to cause a universal build to be done; those
+#defines will be incorrect for all but one of the architectures for
+which the build is being done, and that will cause a compile-time error
+on Snow Leopard. The current snapshot version of PortAudio still
+defines those values in the Makefile, but it appears to use them in ways
+that don't cause build problems; its configure script also has a
+"--disable-mac-universal" flag that can cause the build not to be done
+universal.
