I presume you don't mean "store them in opt_comment options", as other apps 
should not have to know about special tags in comments to indicate that they're 
not really comments.

I'd go for registering a "wireshark preferences" option and just have it store 
raw preferences-file text; we'd also want, I think, another option for UATs, 
with the name of the UAT and its contents.
