Do you know if it is possible to simply tell Ethereal that a certain port

Yes. Step 1 is to write a VNC dissector. Step 2 is to make it register itself for TCP port 5900. :-)
I see that there is a "decode as" option, however, do not see any way to
change or develop custom protocols for "unknown ports". I would think there
might be an easy way for non-programmers to add custom ports.
What do you mean by "change or develop custom protocols"? Do you mean *dissect* those protocols?
