Unfortunately, you joined the wrong group; as the above note suggests,
the *correct* group is wireshark-users:

http://www.wireshark.org/lists/

because Ethereal isn't currently being developed - all development has
moved to Wireshark.

No, because there is no way to do that.

Do you really mean

if TCP port 8473, then use TPKT encapsulation, but of CLNP rather
than COTP?

I.e. are those "4 bytes" not just "4 bytes", but a version byte, a
reserved byte, and a 2-byte field containing the length of the CLNP
PDU plus 4 for the TPKT header?

If so, then the way to do that would be to

1) change the packet-tpkt.c dissector to have a new dissector for
TPKT-encapsulated CLNP;

2) have that dissector register itself for TCP port 8473.
