If by XDR you mean Sun's XDR, it isn't a "protocol", *per se*, just as, 
for example, ASN.1 BER or PER, or DCE RPC NDR, aren't protocols, *per 
se*.  They're encoding rules used for various protocols; what protocol 
are you using?  If it's an ONC RPC-based protocol, you can write a 
dissector for the protocol - there already exist dissectors in Ethereal 
for some ONC RPC-based protocols, such as the portmapper/rpcbind 
protocol, the NIS and NIS+ protocols, and the NFS, mount, and lock 
manager protocols.

If by XDR you *don't* mean Sun's XDR, you might have to tell us what 
that protocol is.
