I believe so. Is there a facility in tcpdump something similar to
find_conversation(), conversation_new(), conversation_set_dissector()
provided in Ethereal?

No, but, at one point, there wasn't one in Ethereal, either, so we could
add it to tcpdump as well.

Yet still having '-T tftp' option is useful because it is not always
possible to capture the first tftp packet of which tcpdump can
remember the IP address and source port number.

Sounds reasonable (the equivalent of "Decode As" in Ethereal; we need to
add an equivalent of "-T" to Tethereal someday).
