That's been implemented using tkdnd, I think the patch even is included in pd-vanilla. You just need to install tkdnd. It would be great if someone got tkdnd built into Pd-extended (hint, hint). I don't think it would be very hard.
On Mac OS X, you can drop pd files on the App icon and they'll open.

I'd like to see drag and drop of pd patches from an OS file browser onto pd to open them.

I have just a minor suggestion for an improvement.
What if it were possible to edit a Pd patch as text from within Pd?
I often open a patch in a text editor in order to mass copy sends and
receives or GUI elements or whatever. The syntax is straightforward
enough that sometimes this is quicker than clicking, for a whole bunch
of items. It would be cool if I could do that from within Pd, without
closing the patch...
