You might first have get the LibPcap folks to support it. :-)

The current tcpdump from the tcpdump.org CVS archive (unless somebody
checked it in recently) doesn't appear to have anything to print Token
Ring packets; it *might* be that libpcap is handling DLT_IEEE802 as
Token Ring rather than as, say, IEEE 802.3 plus LLC, but I'm not certain
of that.

I think there might be Token Ring patches for libpcap and tcpdump
somewhere on the net, but they probably haven't yet been incorporated
into the tcpdump.org tree.
