I faced the same issue a while back. Don't have the patch handy as it was lost in a hard drive crash.
However, your best bet IMO is to use the pgrmin object to capture programme change numbers from a controller, and use these to alter other settings. I think this ended up working for me.
Hope this helps.
If anybody has a more eloquent sollution, I woudl also be interested to hear it.

Tom,
Take a look at the Pd internal messages http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdInternalMessages. The zip file linked at the top of the page contains pretty useful patches for learning how to use them.
Anyway, the point is that there are "open" (and I think "close") messages that you can use on patches.
Take a looksie.
Cheers, David
