No, currently there is no mechanism to do that.

Are the subtypes different enough that you'll have two separate
dissect_myproto() functions? Or will one dissect function handle both?
And if so, can the dissect function itself decide which subtype the
protocol is, or does it need help (like, which UDP port it's on?)?
