Nope, as with all base system sources, tcpdump and libpcap do not
use the installed configure scripts for building.  In addition,
the trojaned tarballs only appeared a few days ago during which
time the tcpdump and libpcap sources have not been updated in
FreeBSD (not that we use the tarballs for tcpdump/libpcap imports).
