The full install disk image contains full-wireshark 0.99.4, a metapackage containing Wireshark itself plus all the dependencies to run it on a plain MacOS X 10.4.8 Tiger system without anything else installed except Apple's X11 (which you can find on your MacOS X Install CD as optional install)

Those package are supposed to run on intel and powerpc CPU's (can someone with a PowerPC mac who has never seen wireshark before test this if there are no dependencies missing or anything else bogous). Some libraries have been built with 64bit support when it was possible. The wireshark package also has a startup item which modifies the privileges of the /dev/bpf* devices so a normal MacOS X user can read / capture.

Note: Wireshark was linked to a static libpcap to overcome an issue of the WLAN going offline on MacBook Pro's when you want to capture IP packets on the WLAN you are connected to. The static cvs version of the library doesnt have this effect except when you capture on the wtl interface (you will see the WLAN frames in this case too) where its normal to loose connectivity. If yo choose "Interface" from the menu however your WLAN will still disconnect. Choose "Options" instead and choose the interface there. So MacBook Pro users (like me) will be happier than before (thanks Guy for finding the workaround...)

As gtk+ 2 and all the dependent libraries are finally been built properly (with gtk+1 we had only 2 dependencies, now we have more than a dozen), I will try to keep up with the cvs version and build updated packages more often.
