Neither do I. :-)  Now I know ettercap has a GUI...
I've just checked the http://ettercap.sf.net/ website and - gladly - the 
GUI
isn't the only interface option. From the website: "Running Ettercap: 
You need
to select a user interface (no default) using -T for Text only, -C for
the Ncurses based GUI, or -G for the nice GTK2 interface."

Building it the way you want:
-----------------------------------------------
# cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/ettercap
# make

You may use the following build option(s):

WITHOUT_GTK=yes     builds without GTK2+ GUI
WITHOUT_ICONV=yes   builds without support for UTF-8
WITHOUT_PCRE=yes    builds without support for perl regexps in filters
WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes builds without ettercap plugins
WITHOUT_SSL=yes     builds without support for SSH1 and SSL decryption
-----------------------------------------------

Good packet hunting,

Alex
