Yes, they are, but... > If so, would it be possible to look up these values? ...those identifiers are static variables in the dissectors. One *could* export them, but that would require code changes, so you might as well just put a look-up-by-name feature into "epan/proto.c", so that you don't have to modify dissectors in order to let other modules get at fields they've registered.
