The current version of libpcap will, if you try to configure D-Bus support on OS X, fail with the message

        Due to freedesktop.org bug 74029, D-Bus capture support is not available on OS X 


See

        https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74029 

for details.

When that bug is fixed, and a version of D-Bus with that fix is available with whatever packaging system you're using, 
D-Bus sniffing might then work on OS X.

        Dyld Error Message:
          Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libdbus-1.3.dylib
          Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libatk-bridge-2.0.0.dylib
          Reason: image not found

Somehow ATK (used by GTK+) is not configured correctly, or libdbus isn't correctly installed, or something such as that.

You should speak to the brew people about that.
