Michael,
 
To find out what display filters are available, click on the "_expression_..." menu item on the Filter Toolbar.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by your 2nd question. The string  "nbns or nbp or nbss or ncp or ndmp or netbios" is a valid single search string. (Note that ncps isn't a valid protocol). You can just apply this as a display filter. If you what you are alluding is to there a single word that encapsulates all those protcols the answer is no. You can however save any filter string by clicking on the "Filter:" button.
 
Michael just gave me a thought though - how about we have a way of using the saved filter string within subsequent filters. This way you can use the saved filter as an abbreviation (like a #define) that could be referenced say with a "filter:xxx" designation. For instance I have saved a filter called "tcpstart" which is defined as "tcp.flags.syn == 1 && tcp.flags.ack == 0". What would be great is to be able in subsequent filters type something like "ip.addr==192.168.222.0/24 && filter:tcpstart". Any takers?
