Try 'debug ip packet dump' (undocumented, sadly), and the following Perl 
script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Convert Cisco dump file format to something text2pcap can read.

sub dumppkt () {
    for ($i = 0; $i < scalar(@pkt); $i++) {
        if ($i % 16 == 0) {
            printf "\n%08X", $i;
        }

        printf " %02X", $pkt[$i];
    }

}

while(<>) {
    chomp;

    unless (m/[0-9A-F]{8}:/) {
        $new_pkt = 1;
        dumppkt;
        undef @pkt;
        next;
    }

    # Strip the offsets and ASCII dump
    $hex = substr $_, 10, 35;

    # Remove all spaces
    $hex =~ s/ //g;

    # Convert hex bytes on this line
    while ((length $hex) > 0) {
        push @pkt, hex (substr $hex, 0, 2, "");
    }

}

dumppkt;
print "\n";
