The only reason its not like that is because someone hasn't done the work. I'd love to be able to include that work in pd-gui-rewrite. Be aware, it'll probably require some weirdness, because of the nature of the messages that the pref panels send to 'pd'. But I don't think it would be too hard.
One downside is that it you couldn't use Tcl/Tk 8.5 if you want it to be included in Pd-vanilla. But I am planning on switching Pd-extended 0.43 to Tcl/Tk 8.5 and above, since 8.5 adds a lot of very useful GUI stuff.

Hi list,
I was just thinking, as I noticed that Hans made it where Apple+, opens the preferences menu on OS X (as does every other native-mac app), why not group all the preferences in one dialog, with sub dialogs? This is how other apps I use on OS X behave and I find it convenient. Besides, if you save the settings, all of the settings get dumped to the preferences file, no? Why not have them all in the same dialog, openable by a hotkey.
