Yes.

In fact, that's the *only* thing you can do with a plugin, currently -
the only type of plugin Ethereal currently supports are protocol
dissectors.

See "doc/README.developer" for general information on writing a
dissector, and "doc/README.plugins" for information on writing a plugin
dissector.
