Yes - "tcp.srcport", "tcp.dstport", "tcp.port", "udp.srcport",
"udp.dstport", "udp.port", and the SCTP port number fields as well.

However, that's not really what you were asking.

What you're really saying is:

"Can I, in Tethereal, force traffic on port 81 to be treated as HTTP by
Tethereal?"

The answer is "no", because nobody's written code to make it do so.  It
will be able to do so in the next version only if somebody contributes
code to make it do so.
