I’ve tried installing Wireshark on my mac and am getting the

is this just the first bump in the road.

Where did /opt/local/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource come from? Something
installed it, but MacPorts didn't think it did.
One relatively common cause of this is if you install MacPorts,
install some ports (in this case including gtk2), then somehow
incompletely uninstall MacPorts, then install MacPorts again, so that
the software MacPorts had installed is still there, but MacPorts is no
longer aware of it. If that sounds possible, then you should uninstall
MacPorts properly and reinstall it. Uninstall instructions are here:
