There is no such thing as overdispersion for binary data. (The variance
of a two-point distribution is a known function of the mean.) If what
you want to do is include random effects of some sort of grouping then
you might look into generalized linear mixed models via lmer() from the
lme4 package or glmmPQL from MASS.
