If you're determined to compile Wireshark yourself, you might try using
GNU make instead of Sun's make.

If you just want to get Wireshark up and running, you might want to use
Blastwave.org instead of Sunfreeware.  Once you have Blastwave set up
(http://www.blastwave.org/howto.html) you can run 'pkg-get install
wireshark' to install Wireshark.
