I've checked in a change to do that; the SPX dissection code is no
longer needed in the NDPS dissector.

A side-effect of that change is that "Src port" and "Dest port" columns
in the column display will display the IPX socket number, in hex, for
IPX packets, and that the "Match" and "Prepare" menu items will work on
those columns.
