Many thanks.  But I think I'll stick with the MacPorts distribution  
since it builds in a very localized fashion and installs both source,  
libraries and executables in an easily removeable location:  /opt.   
I've discovered that getting Wireshark to build using the zlib 1.2.3  
libraries isn't as horrendously difficult as I'd imagined.  I'll let  
everybody know how it goes (it took me a little while to figure out  
how to do it as the instructions aren't very clear but my procedure  
seemed to work and I'm in mid-build right now).  And I've verified  
with the maintainer of the Wireshark port that he, too, had the same  
issues and that they went away as soon as he rebuilt his copy using  
zlib 1.2.3 instead of zlib 1.2.4.  But I want to test the build for  
myself since his rebuild was only on Snow Leopard while mine is on  
Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger (I have multiple machines and want to  
ensure Wireshark works on all those platforms).
