Unfortunately we do not have a way yet. We are close, though.
We have the ability for protocol dissectors register the fact that they
need to be called in certain situatoins (tcp port number, for example).
But we do not yet have a way for the user to specify that. That is,
we have no dialogue window where the user can say that "TCP port X" calls
the dissector for protocol Y.
