NBAP/RNSAP can currently only be dissected using a user DLT which you can

If you mean K12 binary files, they don't have DLT values; are you referring to text files being converted to libpcap files, with a user DLT value?

Is there a way to do that without modifying the Ethereal source?

Edit->Preferences->User DLT A (through D)

Choose a DLT value and the protocol of the payload. (Though the payload protocol must be registered by name--e.g., with 'register_dissector()'.)
