darn!  Oh well, I set up an alias:
pflog='sudo tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pglog'

I guess it's not really so inconvenient.

That could have been avoided.
% cd /usr/ports/net/ethereal
% env FLAVOR="no_x11" make install

FLAVOR is a way to make "customized" binary packages.  You can see what
FLAVORS are available with 'make show=FLAVORS'.  More info on other cool
ports tricks is available in bsd.port.mk(5).  Pretty ingenious
if you ask me, but I think all of OpenBSD is ingenious :)
