from the packet(7) man page on my linux desktop:
NOTES
       For  portable  programs  it  is suggested to use PF_PACKET via
       pcap(3); although this only covers a subset of the PF_PACKET 
       features.


A module to interface to libpcap, (which runs on all UN*X hosts I know of)
might be an approach sufficiently general to be incorporated into the 
distribution.
