Based on what information you have provided I can offer you the
following advice:

Either build the ethereal port with the following argument 'make
WITHOUT_SNMP=yes'
OR
install /usr/ports/net-mgmt/net-snmp[1] first

[1] usually this is done automatically but something may be borked in
the port so try doing it manually.
