No.

Those two fields are members of a union, so it's impossible to use
both of them simultaneously.

Note that you're not supposed to use those fields directly; instead,
you're supposed to use "old_conversation_set_dissector()" if the
dissector for the conversation is to be one of the steadly-dwindling set
of old-style dissectors, or "conversation_set_dissector()" if it's to be
a new-style dissector using tvbuffs.
