You might also want to add the license (GPL) and platforms to the item - other items on the Tools page have that as a parenthetical note for the tool.
As it uses the FOX toolkit, any OS X support would presumably require X11 (as is currently the case with Wireshark itself), as the FOX toolkit doesn't support OS X natively. It might support other UN*Xes with X11 desktops, and OS X with X11, if it uses libpcap's packet-sending APIs rather than directly using PF_PACKET sockets on Linux.
