You absolutely have to start here:
http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/fink/index.html
then, as far as running Ethereal, you need two things:
- X running (read above how to install)
- the stable and unstable branches of fink, for latest versions of everything
- you don't need no stinking fink-commander - the CLI is just fine
Read also the archive of this list - I think I have answered similar
things in the past, with some additional links.
