If you drag select an object or group of objects you can use the "nudge" functionality with cursor keys, you can also hold shift for block moves. So that functionality is already there.
Thanks, Richie. It seems that there is a bug affecting Pd on Mac OS X (at least 10.6), and the cursor keys do not function properly.

The patch below fixes the problem. I don't know if it's the right solution, though.
Assuming that cursor keys worked at one time on OS X in Pd... it seems that the keycode sent when a cursor key is pressed may have changed in Snow Leopard. I haven't been able to track down any official documentation, though, nor any other bug reports that describe the root of the problem.
