See the port net/tcpslice.

Here's an excerpt from its man page:

DESCRIPTION
       Tcpslice  is  a  program  for extracting portions of packet-trace fi=
les
       generated using tcpdump(l)'s -w flag.  It can also  be  used  to  me=
rge
       together several such files, as discussed below.
=2E..
       There  are  a number of ways to specify times.  The first is using U=
nix
       timestamps of the form sssssssss.uuuuuu (this is the  format  specif=
ied
       by  tcpdump's -tt flag).  For example, 654321098.7654 specifies 38 s=
ec-
       onds and 765,400 microseconds after 8:51PM PDT, Sept. 25, 1990.
