Unless pktdump goes down the Wireshark path of having dissectors register 
preferences by name, with a generic option such as "-o" allowing options to be 
set by name (which would allow -b, -E, -H, -K, -m, -M, -R, and -S to be 
absorbed into that option), it might still run the risk of running out of 
single-letter options.
