Yes, there is.

Download the Ethereal source - or use anonymous CVS to get the latest
source:

	http://www.ethereal.com/development.html#anoncvs

or, if you're behind a firewall that doesn't allow anonymous CVS to
work, download the nightly snapshots of the development source tree:

	http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/nightly-builds/

and read the "doc/README.developer" and "doc/README.tvbuff" documents in
there for information on how to write a new dissector for Ethereal.
